President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised by the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) to cool down and cease threatening war against any part of the country immediately.

In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, the rights group criticized the president's threat to the Igbo-speaking region of the country in its entirety.

Buhari goes on to suggest that such individuals or organizations will be in for a rude awakening because his government will treat them in their own language.

HURIWA reacted angrily to the president's comments, telling him to avoid reminding the Igbos of how he led to the deaths of thousands of their parents during the civil war. The rights group accused Buhari of having an unhealthy obsession with squirting soap into the eyes of Nigerians who speak Igbo.

HURIWA questioned how the leader could make such a threat to suspected members of outlawed self-determination organizations like the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Movement for the Survival of Biafra (MASSOB), and others.

Because they are his kinfolk, the rights group accused Buhari of pampering Fulani herdsmen who have killed and continue to kill hundreds of people every day, destroying people's farmland, and wreaking havoc. HURIWA was perplexed as to why Buhari has never vowed to take the war to them.

HURIWA remarked that anytime matters affecting the South East of Nigeria are discussed, Buhari expresses such venom that it appears he is still waging war against the region, despite the fact that he fought alongside Nigeria for 30 months against the then-Biafra Republic.

A part of the statement reads: “Please President Muhammadu Buhari stop reminding us the Igbo of how you participated in the pogroms that resulted in the killing of over 3 million Igbo in the late 60’s and even after destroying the then Eastern Region, General Yakubu Gowon the then war time junta leader failed to rehabilitate or reconstruct the destroyed Eastern region but after the people through their efforts rebuilt South East of Nigeria, President Buhari is now threatening to launch another civil war against Ndigbo only because a bunch of boys are constructively canvassing self-determination."

“This is ludicrous, provocative, and cruel. With all of our hearts and souls, we condemn this deadly rhetoric and hate speech, and we are putting the world on notice that Muhammadu Buhari intends to carry out another pogrom against Ndigbo.”
