The Human Rights Writers Association, (HURIWA) has accused President Bola Tinubu of using the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to destabilise the opposition.
The association stated this while reacting to the exemption of the FCT from the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
Naija News reports that the TSA is a system designed to ensure transparency in revenue generation and allocation.
Speaking via a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA asserted that exclusion of the FCT Ministry from the TSA is an arbitrary move that positions Nyesom Wike as a powerful force within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The group noted that despite holding office under the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, Wike continues to exert influence over the PDP’s internal affairs.
Naija News reports that Wike had on more than one occasion announced that the FCT Administration is not under the TSA, boasting that Tinubu has provided him with everything he needed to succeed as a minister.
“This arbitrary exclusion of the FCT Ministry from the TSA is a dangerous precedent that threatens fiscal accountability and strengthens the suspicion that the APC is using key PDP figures like Wike to sabotage the opposition,” HURIWA stated.
The group emphasized that “this strategy is aimed at ensuring the PDP remains divided and weakened, which will, in turn, make it easier for the APC to tighten its hold on political power and move towards establishing a one-party state”.
