The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of being responsible for the internal conflicts within both the Labour Party (LP) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement by Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA’s national coordinator, the group claimed that the party is using a strategic plan to weaken opposition parties in Nigeria by creating division among them.
HURIWA believes this is part of the APC’s goal to weaken political opposition and move Nigeria towards an authoritarian regime similar to China’s communist system.
The group specifically highlighted the crisis in the Labour Party, where the national chairman, Julius Abure, has refused to step down despite claims that his tenure has ended.
HURIWA alleged that the APC is secretly backing Abure to destabilize the Labour Party and reduce the influence of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

“The APC is using Julius Abure to stifle the Labour Party’s ability to function effectively as a credible opposition.
“By destabilising the Labour Party from within, the APC is ensuring that the party does not pose any significant threat in future elections, particularly as Peter Obi continues to gain widespread support,” the group said.
The group also criticized the appointment of Nyesom Wike, former governor of Rivers State, as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), claiming that his involvement in the APC-led administration is a deliberate effort to destabilize the PDP from within.
HURIWA further condemned the APC’s economic policies, arguing that these policies are worsening poverty and creating a system where millions of Nigerians are becoming increasingly dependent on the state for survival.
The group compared this to a “communist-style system,” where citizens heavily rely on government assistance, drawing similarities to China’s governance model.
