President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has reacted to claim by
the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, that the president was
witch-hunting opposition.
HURIWA had yesterday alleged that
Buhari was using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to
witch-hunt prominent members of the opposition.
The rights group made the claim
while condemning Buhari for allegedly using security agencies and the Ministry
of Federal Capital Territory to demolish a section of African Independent
Television, AIT, building in Abuja.
AIT is owned by Chief Raymond
Dokpesi, a known chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Against this backdrop, the body
warned that Nigeria would be worse off if Buhari was allowed to run his
purported tyrannical government.
HURIWA urged Nigerians to resist
all forms of tyranny by the Buhari government.
Reacting to the allegation,
Onochie described HURIWA’s claim as a blackmail.
In a tweet, Onochie charged EFCC
to bravely and courageously arrest looters.
He wrote: “The Human Rights
Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has claimed that Pres. @MBuhari was
using security agencies, especially EFCC, to witch-hunt members of the
opposition.
“Me: This is nothing short of
blackmail. @officialEFCC must BRAVELY and COURAGEOUSLY Arrest all looters.”
