Deborah Samuel: Don’t overlook Atiku, Tambuwal’s action in 2023 – HURIWA to voters
Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, on Tuesday, urged 2023 voters not to ignore the failure of Peoples Democratic Party PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and his Director General of Campaign, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State to get justice for slain Deborah Yakubu seven months after her carnivorous killing by Muslim zealots for alleged blasphemy.
HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement, said the killing of Deborah, a 200-level Home Economics student of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, North-West Nigeria, in May will always remain in the subconscious memories of Nigerians of good conscience irrespective of their religious affiliation.
The group said Atiku and Tambuwal value politicking and campaigns beyond getting justice for the slain Christian student who was lynched by Islamic extremists in broad daylight on her school campus.
HURIWA added that Nigerians will never forget how the Nigeria Police Force have so far played games with the case, arrested and released prime suspects in the heinous offence, and the case disappeared from the court, silenced by the muteness and complicity of the northern political class who supports the killing of Christians in the region.
The group lambasted Atiku over his defence on Sunday for saying he deleted his initial tweet on the murder of the Christian student because he did not approve the tweet.
“I asked the tweet to be deleted because I normally approve every tweet. So, since I didn’t approve it, I said, ‘delete it’. If you read my subsequent statements on that murder, I condemned it.
“There is nowhere it is said or it is an injunction in the Islamic faith that you can go and take somebody’s life, nowhere, it has to be through due process,” the former Vice President said during Channels Television’s Town Hall programme.
HURIWA’s Onwubiko said, “Atiku’s defence and bad image laundering efforts have again fallen flat as the whole public can now see the hypocrisy of the northern political class dominated by radical Muslims. So, Atiku has tacitly supported the killing of Deborah with his statement that a person can be killed for alleged blasphemy if only “due process” is followed? This is preposterous! Highly condemnable of a presidential candidate!
