Muslim-Muslim ticket is final attempt to hand over Nigeria to Boko Haram terrorists, HURIWA tells Tinubu

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has warned Nigerians that the plot by the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to pick a Muslim running mate despite stiff opposition from a cross section of Nigerians was a sinister plot in its finality to hand over Nigeria in 2023 to remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP elements in the country.

HURIWA said Saturday in a statement signed by its HURIWA National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, that Nigeria would make Nigeria look like Kaduna where a Muslim-Muslim ticket has reduced the State to a graveyard and the killing fields of Christians and moderate Muslims since the last five years.

Besides, HURIWA said there were very strong indication that the serial successes recorded by ISWAP, Boko Haram and armed Fulani insurgents in different parts of Nigeria in carrying out bloody violence and mass killings of Nigerians, especially Christians, coupled with so much of the jail breaks all across Nigeria, including the latest in Kuje Prison, Abuja must have been facilitated by sympathisers of terrorists and Islamists embedded inside of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

The rights group said the same Boko Haram elements were behind the groundswell of campaigns in the media, using many fronts, including Christian loafers, for Tinubu, a hardcore Islamist, to pick another Muslim extremist as his running mate.

HURIWA further stated that Boko Haram elements and Islamists have penetrated many Northern States’ administrations, pointing out that the enthusiasm with which the likes of the Kano and Kaduna States Governors were pushing the agenda of a Muslim-Muslim ticket even when such an unconstitutional practice has led to the destruction of Kaduna State, means that there was more to it than meets the eyes.

HURIWA said the Kano State government operates like a state in Afghanistan with Islamic Police and full Sharia law; just as the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai is a notorious Islamic and Fulani ethnic bigot who has made his intentions known that conquering political institutions in Nigeria is the ultimate goal of the jihad-minded politicians in the APC with pathological hatred for non-Muslims and moderate Muslims.

Recall that the governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State had just said the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Party (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has agreed to pick a Muslim Vice Presidential candidate.

HURIWA recalled that during a gathering of about 100 clerics at the state Government House as part of activities to mark Eid-el-Kabir, Ganduje said Tinubu was advised to pick a Muslim running mate. “We have advised him to pick a Muslim deputy and he has agreed. A Muslim-Muslim ticket is a reality. It is not something new in Nigeria.”

HURIWA recalled that Ganduje also asked the clerics to pray for Tinubu to emerge as Nigeria’s president come 2023 and tasked Nigerians to smell the coffee and wake up to oppose the active plots by Islamic extremists to hijack Nigeria in 2023.

The rights group said the symbolism of when, where and to whom Governor Ganduje informed about the Muslim-Muslim ticket shows that it was a longstanding plot right from Saudi Arabia to try to abolish modern constitutional democracy in preference for a full Islamic State just like Afghanistan.

HURIWA said the recent gift without appropriation of one million United States dollars to Afghanistan by President Muhammadu Buhari unilaterally was a demonstration that President Muhammadu Buhari was part of the game plan to make Nigeria a full Islamic state which is the ultimate goal of Tinubu planning to pick a Muslim running mate.

HURIWA has therefore warned that if patriotic Nigerians were not vigilant, and INEC was allowed to rig in Tinubu next year, then there would inevitably be a break out of prolonged religious war in Nigeria.
