Tijjani Sarki

Tijjani Sarki is the Vice President of the Human Rights Watch Foundation in Nigeria, known for advocating for accountability and transparency in governance.

Sarki criticized the selective outrage of lawmakers and emphasized the importance of a fair investigation rather than scapegoating individuals who have contributed positively to reforming institutions.
