Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria [HURIWA] has welcomed the registration of the three merging opposition political platforms that have metamorphosed into All Progressives Congress [APC].

The association urged the members of the new party to see the entire Nigeria as its constituency by vigorously working to establish its presence in all parts of Nigeria saying major national offices of the party must not be skewed to favor any religious groupings and/or geo-political zones but must be structured in such a way as to have fair and equal representation of all strands of opinion.

National coordinator of the group, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko in a statement said APC as currently registered must restructure its national hierarchy because as according to Huriwa, only one religious group picked the dominant and most important offices which is against federal character that is fundamentally enshrined in our constitution.

"We also wish to appeal to the newly registered political party to work out and publish blueprint for ending the vicious circle of violent crimes; mass poverty; mass illiteracy and total break down of basic infrastructure in all parts of Nigeria since all the ruling parties at both the national and state levels have failed spectacularly to live up to the general expectation of all Nigerians."
