Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has
said the decision of the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in
Kaduna State to select a Muslim as his running mate for the 2023 election is
provocative, divisive, and absolutely non-tolerant of religious pluralism of
the state.
HURIWA said the decision is a brazen attempt to perpetuate
the heightened state of insecurity in the state.
The rights group also called on the people of Kaduna
desirous of peace, tranquillity, interreligious harmony and sustainable
development, to turn their backs against the APC in next year’s polls.
Recalled that Uba Sani who is the governorship candidate of
the APC in the state, anointed by Governor Nasir El-Rufai as his successor,
claimed that after consultations with critical stakeholders, he had settled for
Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe as his running mate.
HURIWA, however, condemned Sani’s Muslim-Muslim ticket as
absolutely divisive and stated that from the available body of information the
APC governorship candidate did not consult the large populations of Christians
in Southern and Northern Kaduna.
The Rights group said the APC’S gubernatorial candidate is
simply attempting to continue to foist Islamic extremism in the governance of
Kaduna State.
HURIWA also said it blames the Muslim-Muslim administration
of El-Rufai for the massive killings of mainly Christian natives of Southern
Kaduna by armed Fulani terrorists who have the support of the Kaduna State
government clearly.
