Lekki Shooting: Why youths must not allow Tinubu become President – HURIWA

Nigerian army stormed the Lekki Tollgate where the angry youths converged and allegedly opened fire on the unarmed protesters

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has called on Nigerian youths to ensure that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu does not win the 2023 presidential election.

The National Coordinator of the rights group, Emmanuel Onwubiko while speaking to newsmen on Wednesday, alleged that Tinubu was one of those who orchestrated the October 20, 2020, Lekki massacre.

Recall that Nigerian youths who were vexed by the extrajudicial killings carried out by the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, had staged a nationwide protest in October 2020.

The Nigerian army stormed the Lekki Tollgate where the angry youths converged and allegedly opened fire on the unarmed protesters.

Although authorities are yet to admit, there were video evidence that several Nigerians were massacred while scores sustained life-threatening injuries during the shooting incident.

Onwubiko while commemorating with the Nigerian youths on the second anniversary of the Lekki shooting, noted that if the APC flagbearer succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, the victims may never get justice.

He said, “the youths are heroes. Nobody should have any regrets. They should not give up on the struggle for good governance. And as we move closer to elections, they should make sure that Tinubu does not smell the power.

“If somebody like Tinubu becomes Nigerian president, Lekki killings will be hidden forever”.
