HUMAN Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has concurred with the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, that the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari should be blamed for the economic hardship of the nation.
  
Consequently, it called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of Buhari for economic and security sabotage.  According to the National Coordinator of the group, Emmanuel Onwubiko, this is the only way the current administration can assure Nigerians of its commitment to fixing the battered economy and fighting institutional corruption.
  
HURIWA said the former President, apart from destroying Nigeria’s economy through cocktails of corruption and poor governance, also committed some of the worst human rights violations almost equivalent to the pre-World War II German’s Adolf Hitler.  For the rights group, it is disappointing that Nigerians are not on the streets to demand the immediate arrest of Buhari. 

Mutfwang, while speaking during the swearing-in of 22 Special Advisers and heads of government agencies at the Government House, Jos, said Buhari left the country’s economy in terrible shape for his successor, President Bola Tinubu.

  
“We are at a very difficult juncture in the history of this country and I am an advocate that after the election you forget politics and face governance.
  
“Though the Federal Government is being led by a party other than my own, I owe you the duty to tell Nigerians the truth that this government inherited a worse situation than 1999. It inherited an economy where we simply printed money up to the tune of N30tn and shared,” the governor had said. 
  
He added that Tinubu inherited an economy where unexplored crude oil had been sold in advance. The group, however, blamed Tinubu for hiking the cost of living through the unwise hiking of pump price of fuel and the floating of the naira, which fundamentally devalued the national legal tender.
  
But while the Plateau governor was silent on what to do with Buhari, HURIWA thinks the former president should be behind bars now to answer questions on “how he destroyed the economy and created security nightmares.”
