We Fought, Protected Buhari’s Right, Amnesty Reminds Presidency

The embattled human rights organization, Amnesty International (AI), at the weekend, reminded President Muhammadu Buhari, and others of protecting their human rights from being abused when they were victimized and oppressed some years ago under military regime.
This was made known by the Chairman, Board of Amnesty International, Nigeria, Auwal Ibrahim Musa, popularly known as Rafsanjani, in an interview with newsmen, yesterday.
Rafsanjani also warned political office holders that they could be oppressed when they leave office by another political class because they would not be in power forever.
He said: “We cannot keep quiet because if we all keep quiet, it will come to each individual and all, and if we don’t speak out, definitely, we will be in trouble. We have to constantly remind them that they cannot continue to do this.
“These are people we also fought for their rights, when they were being victimized, including President Muhammadu Buhari.
“It is just that they have short memory and they have forgotten today that they will leave power tomorrow, and they can become victims of another political class. That is why organizations like ours, which are not political, religious and not having any ulterior motives, rather than protect the rights of everybody, they want to attack us for that you are just doing harm to yourself.
