Terrorists Cannot Divide Us – Buhari

Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that he is very sad and surprised by the death of innocent hostages in the hands of ISWAP. He begged Nigerians not to allow terrorists to divide the nation along religious lines, after the killing of some Christians and Muslims by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). According to him, these people have given Islam a bad name with their sins. He added that as President, he considers the security of the people an utmost priority. His words, “I'm profoundly saddened and shocked by the death of innocent hostages in the hands of remorseless, godless, callous gangs of mass murderers that have given Islam a bad name through their atrocities. “We should, under no circumstance, let the terrorists divide us by turning Christians against Muslims because these barbaric killers don’t represent Islam and millions of other law-abiding Muslims around the world. “As a President, the collective security of all Nigerians is my major preoccupation and the death of an innocent Christian or Muslim distresses me.” “These agents of darkness are enemies of our common humanity and they don’t spare any victim, whether they are Muslims or Christians, and therefore, we shouldn’t let them divide us and turn us against one another. “The goal of these psychopaths is to cause confusion and spread distrust between Muslims and Christians, despite the fact that they aren’t representing the interest of Muslims or Islam. “While I condemn this evil, I wish to reassure Nigerians that this administration will not lower its guards in the war against terrorism, and we will continue to intensify our efforts towards strengthening international cooperation and collaboration to break the backbone of these evil doers.”
