Tinubu Sponsoring Crises In Opposition Parties To Establish One-Party State – HURIWA

HURIWA Opposes Wike and Tinubu's Plan to Build Judges' Houses, Citing Political Capture of Judiciary

The Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA) has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is sponsoring the destabilisation of the two major opposition political parties in order to establish a one-party state in Nigeria.

HURIWA argued that Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were behind the crises rocking the People’s Democratic Party and the Labour Party.

The accusations were contained in a statement issued by the association’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, on Monday.

Onwubiko argued that the President is using the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who remains a member of the PDP, to destabilise the party. He added that Labour Party Chairman Julius Abure May be doing Tinubu’s bidding.

Abure has refused to step down as Labour Party Chairman after the expiration of his tenure, causing a crisis in the party.

HURIWA also accused Tinubu’s decision to exempt the FCT Ministry, supervised by Wike, from the Treasury Single Account, TSA.

He described the decision as an arbitrary ploy by the President to give Wike unchecked access to public funds, which would be used to destabilise the PDP.

Wike had on multiple occasions, boasted that the President had given him everything he needed to succeed as a minister.

“This arbitrary exclusion of the FCT Ministry from the TSA is a dangerous precedent that threatens fiscal accountability and strengthens the suspicion that the APC is using key PDP figures like Wike to sabotage the opposition.

“This strategy is aimed at ensuring the PDP remains divided and weakened, which will, in turn, make it easier for the APC to tighten its hold on political power and move towards establishing a one-party state,” the statement by HURIWA read.

“It is as if the APC is trying to create a communist-style system where citizens are completely reliant on the state, much like what is seen in China,” the statement read further.

HURIWA added that Tinubu is weaponising poverty “to ensure that millions remain poor and dependent on government handouts”
