Following the decision by the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu to pick a Muslim as running mate, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has described the ruling party as a terrorists political party.
According to the group, it is now time for all patriotic Nigerians to reject the ruling party at the 2023 Presidential poll.
This was coming on the heels of the emergence of Kashim Shettima as running mate to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
According to HURIWA, Shettima is nothing but a hardcore Islamist and hater of Christians, describing the selection irresponsible, irrational, unpatriotic, unconstitutional and clearly shows that the Islamists and terrorists of the BOKO HARAM and ISWAP genre have actively hijacked APC.

HURIWA admonished Nigerians that any vote cast for the APC is a vote for the disintegration of Nigeria, saying the people must now choose between the Labour Party, LP and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
HURIWA noted that the Muslim-Muslim government currently going on in Kaduna State has shown that such system does not favour Christians.
HURIWA asserted that such selection by Tinubu amounts to discrimination of the non Muslims and goes against some sections of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
In a related development, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah has reacted to the decision by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to present a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, the decision was teamwork-based on the calculation of what would work for the party.
In a statement he personally signed on Monday which was obtained by Africa Today News, New York Kuka pointed out that the decision by the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu to pick Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate should not be a thing to worry about.
