HURIWA said that Government must show that it did not achieve this because the victim is from the Northern region of Nigeria.
It commended the President Muhammadu Buhari government on “the unprecedented foreign policy millstone achieved in one instance in the area of effective intervention which culminated in the reported release of Zainab Aliyu- a Kano State born pilgrim in whose travelling bags suspected hard drugs were planted by some airport workers.”
“So for a government to secure the release of a citizen whose fate was hanging precariously like a sword of Damocles from a country that is notorious for being absolutely intolerant of drug offences/drug offenders is definitely a remarkable achievement that must be celebrated across all party lines. “We must however warn that this shouldn’t be a one off case in which the government will go back to sleep believing that it has achieved so much, it must however be drummed into the ears of top federal foreign affairs and affiliate government officials that the job of re-branding the damage of global public perception of Nigeria has not started.
