Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, has asked Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Nigerian Air Force leadership to publicly apologise to Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, for denying him entry into the naval base during the vice president’s visit to the state.
Reacting to the development on Sunday, HURIWA National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement titled, ‘Ortom: Being member of opposition should not warrant victimisation, says HURIWA’, described the NAF action as ‘opposition victimisation’. He said barring an elected state governor and Chief Security Officer of a state from the NAF Base is an affront to the principle of democracy.
Onwubiko said, “Denying Ortom, who is a member of the National Economic Council led by the Vice President himself from such an invited event is hypocritical of the administration of President and his Vice-President whom claim to be for everyone and for nobody. “It is a known fact that Ortom, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, has been very vocal in his criticism against the ruling All Progressives Congress. The embarrassment of Ortom on Saturday can be termed deliberate and an act of persecution for speaking out against the Buhari regime.
Osinbajo should publicly apologise to Nigerians for him staying in Aso Rock and looking on in silence while Buhari ruins Nigeria. Hypocrite!
