**Suspend President Tinubu's State Visit to the UK over Rights Concerns**
Having deeply experienced the suffering inflicted on Nigerians by Tinubu's APC government, I call upon the UK Government to reconsider and suspend the state visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Tinubu claims to be a democrat, yet since coming to power through a contested and deeply flawed election, he has systematically undermined democratic institutions and wielded influence over the judiciary, elected legislators, and even the electoral process itself. His policies have not only perpetuated but exacerbated poverty among Nigerians, leading to elevated insecurity and the tragic loss of thousands of lives.
The impact of President Tinubu's governance has reverberated beyond Nigeria’s borders, raising questions about his commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. His actions appear to weaponize poverty, targeting the electorate's vulnerability for political gain. This perilous reality cannot be overlooked or tolerated by nations that champion human rights.
In light of these grave concerns, I urge the UK Government to exercise its influence and demand accountability from President Tinubu by suspending his state visit. This petition targets the key ministers who oversee state visits, prompting a formal review of Tinubu’s human rights record and the legitimacy of his state visit.
We understand the symbolic nature of state visits and how they can be wrongly perceived as endorsements. By suspending Tinubu’s visit, the UK can send a strong message prioritizing human rights and democracy over political convenience. It is a concrete step towards condemning those who undermine democracy while offering support to Nigerian citizens striving for justice.
Our ask is clear: pause this visit until a thorough and unbiased review of Tinubu’s governance is conducted and the concerns over human rights abuses in Nigeria are addressed. Motivated by the principles of justice, transparency, and goodwill, this petition seeks to protect the values that many hold dear.
The deafening silence and inaction will only contribute to the ongoing suffering of millions of Nigerians. Therefore, I implore you, supporters of democracy and human rights, to sign this petition. Stand in solidarity not only for the Nigerian people but for a world where leaders are held accountable for their actions.
