HURIWA asks defence ministers to quit Tinubu campaign council, focus on insecurity

A Nigerian human rights organization, HURIWA, has demanded that the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, and the Minister of State for Defence, Senator Bello Mohammed Matawalle, immediately withdraw from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's campaign council. The group insists the ministers must prioritize tackling the country's worsening insecurity.

HURIWA expressed concern that the ministers' continued involvement in political campaigns distracts from their critical duties in combating the nation's security crises. The organization stated that the ministers' participation in partisan politics undermines public confidence in their ability to provide effective leadership in national security matters.

The call underscores a growing public sentiment in Nigeria regarding the government's effectiveness in managing widespread insecurity, including banditry, insurgency, and other forms of violent crime. HURIWA's statement reflects a broader demand for accountability and a renewed focus on security from the current administration.
