FG Using Propaganda To Demonize Kukah Over Buhari–HURIWA

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has rebuked the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, for saying some religious leaders are silently trying to remove President Muhammadu Buhari from power.
HURIWA accused Mohammed of using propaganda to demonize the Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese, Rt. Rev. Mathew Hassan Kukah, over his latest article.
The frontline activist group said the minister should shut up if he can’t read and understand the simple essay written by Kukah.
In his article, the clergyman had on December 25, 2020, lamented the state of nepotism under President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
However, HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, and the group’s National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf, said it was baffling that Mohammed could misinterpret Kukah’s write up to mean he wants Buhari ousted.
The rights group insisted that the Buhari-led government was characterized by nepotism.
According to HURIWA, Kukah only pointed out the obvious that “President Muhammadu Buhari has consistently and continuously unleashed a divisive and scotch earth apartheid policies of divide and rule, nepotism and religious cum ethnic chauvinism and bigotry in all his appointments especially to top internal security architectures, including the recent promotions in the Nigerian Police Force in which the North got the significant percentage of all the promoted senior police officers even when the Igbo speaking South-East of Nigeria was allotted just one top position.”
The group lamented that only Northern Muslims were appointed to head the country’s security architecture.
