Wike Should Leave Buratai Alone And Focus On His State – HURIWA

Popular rights advocacy group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has come out to tell Governor Nyesom Wike to leave Tukur Buratai alone.

HURIWA Executive Director, Emmanuel Onwubiko recently revealed this via a press conference, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Wike should focus on delivering good governance to his people, rather than concentrating on continuous criticisms of other people.

He added that Buratai spent over 35 years of his very productive working life in public service to advance public good, so he doesn’t deserve criticism.

His words, “Wike is busy pointing one finger towards the direction of Buratai and other retired military chiefs who spent over 35 years of their very productive working life in public service to advance public good, but the remaining four fingers point right back at Nyesom Wike who is known to be highly intolerant of opposition politics and has shown arrogance toward opponents.”

On Buhari tackling the elites, “The President is not a monarch or an emperor that should not face criticisms. The Office of the President is such that the occupant must be willing, open and faithful to the constitution by accepting criticism going by the fundamental freedoms guaranteed in chapter 4 of the constitution including freedom of expression,”

“The President should show us the templates of what he has done to change the trajectory of the public health system to get out of its current dysfunctional state. It is better to show us your work than to always issue threats from all kinds of officials.”
