Coalition debunks HURIWA claims, says no Breakdown of Law and Order in Osun

Coalition for Good Governance (C4GG) has accused the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) of executing a baseless hatchet job by falsely claiming fake, non-existing law and order crisis in Osun state.

 

In a strongly worded reaction to HURIWA, C4GG said the Onwubiko led group is reputed as a blackmail platform which has commercialised advocacy activities in favour of the highest bidder, wondering how Mr Onwubiko who live in Abuja can claim imminent break down of law and order in a peaceful state like Osun.

 

” We note with disgust HURIWA’s newest hatchet job to defend a police commissioner on transfer with false narratives and with unfounded allegations and insinuations against a new government that is restoring normalcy to Osun state. Osun residents are aware of the reign of terror imposed on the state by former government of Oyetola through his leading thug, Asiri Eniba.

 

” Residents of Osun state were aware of how daily raid on banks led to most major towns not having banking services and how Osogbo the state capital has many no go areas. Osun witnessed glorification of thuggery to the extent that known thugs regularly featured on state boxes during state events. HURIWA, a one man blackmailing platform did not bother to fact check Osun before accepting an image laundering contract. The fact is that Osun was a war zone under Oyetola; the situation only calm down when Governor Ademola Adeleke took office.

 

“To confirm HURIWA’s shameless conduct, this is the first time a supposed human right group will question a police Chief for exercising the powers of his office. The Inspector General of Police has direct reporting on the activities of commissioners of Police and other top officers posted across the federation. He is able to judge performances of his officers on the basis of which he determines posting and reposting. HURIWA is bereft of intelligence briefing to know basis of posting decision, hence its cheap and ignorant posturing on issues beyond its purview.

 

“The group because of its cash and carry mentality adopted the crudest of style, endangering the career of the Commissioner it is trying to protect and dabbling into administrative matters due to sponsored briefing. From whitewashing a blackened Oyetola’s administration to dictating to police Chief on how to post, HURIWA has reached an all low cadre, confirming the final degeneration of a fake human right group.

 

“Based on our network and spread across the states, we affirm that there is no imminent breakdown of Law and Order in Osun state. What we can report to the public was that the former Governor attempted to derail the political and governance process after he was defeated at the July 16th election by planting many bobby traps including unleashing of political thugs, illegal padding of state payroll, unlawful contract awards. All these were documented in public space.

 

“We can also report that the new Governor reversed most unlawful actions of his predecessor, an action we find to be largely acceptable to the people of the state. Our team lead for South West is Osogbo based and our preliminary survey in the last two weeks revealed that Governor Adeleke’s approval rating remains all high two weeks into his governorship.
