HURIWA Accuses Tinubu of Steering Nigeria Towards Dictatorship

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of presiding over what it describes as an emerging dictatorship, in which the executive arm has allegedly captured both the judiciary and the legislature, leaving them weakened and subservient.

In a strongly worded statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, HURIWA warned that Nigeria is “on the brink of democratic annihilation” as judicial independence erodes under the leadership of Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, and the National Assembly becomes, in its words, a political extension of the Presidency.

According to the group’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, “The Nigerian judiciary under the current CJN has been reduced to a timid, corrupt, and compromised shadow of itself, incapable of delivering justice in any matter that affects President Tinubu or his political associates.”

HURIWA further alleged that the National Judicial Council (NJC) has become “a polluted sanctuary of inefficiency” with its leadership aligned to the President and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The association also accused the judiciary of granting undue advantage to Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, citing his consistent string of legal victories across the Federal High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court — victories it claims were secured through “suspected insider compromises, unethical collusion, and abuse of judicial influence.”
