EndSARS memorial: Mobilize, takeover power in 2023 – HURIWA charges youths

In remembrance of the Lekki toll gate massacre following youth protest against bad governance, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has charged Nigerian youths on involvement in political activities ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The national coordinator of the group, Emmanuel Onwubiko said the best way to end marginalization of youths was to get involved in politics and run for elective positions.

According to HURIWA, the youths need to empower themselves academically in a bid to solve the alleged human rights violation by security operatives.

He said, “Nigerian youths should stay out of trouble, avoid violence, but should speak out in defence of their fundamental human rights as active citizens of Nigeria.

“We are urging the youths not to get involve in crimes but to meaningfully embrace pursuit of knowledge, education and capacity building and expose all acts of human rights violations unleashed on citizens by law enforcement officials and to demand redress.

“The youths should mobilise to join forces in political camps to take over power democratically in 2023”.
