Human Rights Writers Association of Nigerian (HURIWA) on Friday berated the Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Alhaji Adamu Bulkachuwa, for his threat that the Buhari administration will give the Southeast what it “wants’ if its youths do not stop disturbing the peace.
The group accused him of making hate speeches.
National Coordinator of HURIWA, Comrade Emmnauel Onwubiko, said Bulkachuwa “did not speak like a distinguished parliamentarian but like a war monger and just like a little child.”
Onwubiko said: “At his age, can he still carry an AK-47? Why are the old people who are privileged to have benefitted from Nigeria the persons at the forefront of seeking to destroy Nigeria? What is his gain if war breaks out and his children will have to get involved in the war?”
HURIWA also criticized Sheikh Ahmed Gumi for advocating that the government should make use of some terrorists to handle their likes troubling the country.
HURIWA stated: “Can we tell Sheikh Gumi that there is no good terrorist or kidnappers, and so for him to canvass the recruitment of terrorists to fight other terrorists is a direct support for terrorism which merits immediate arrest and prosecution under the anti- terrorism Act, which is a law in Nigeria.
“It is unfortunate that we have a federal government that sees nothing wrong with someone holding meetings with and speaking for terrorists as if he is above the law.”
