President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday condemned the latest terrorist attacks on Borno and Yobe communities by the Boko Haram insurgents.
A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, quoted the President as saying that he was deeply touched by the mindless incidents of violence on innocent people during the month of Ramadan.
The President described the terrorists as “enemies of everybody, and enemies of humanity everywhere.”
He said no sane people who believe in any God would be destroying the lives of innocent people in cold blood, adding that terrorists don’t represent any religion.
The President said the pattern of their indiscriminate violence against innocent people shows that they represent nothing else but “anarchy and devilry.”
He reminded the terrorists of his uncompromising resolve to tackle them with all the resources at the disposal of his government.
“Make no mistake about it: this government is ever determined to discharge its fundamental duty of protecting the lives of its citizens from physical threats from any groups bent on creating chaos, confusion, and on destroying social and economic life of the people,” he further warned.
Buhari, who extended his sympathy to the families of the victims, reassured all Nigerians that his government would never tolerate terrorist blackmail, and that the nation’s security forces would confront the Boko Haram bandits to the last man.
Describing terrorists as “cowards who lack any moral inhibition and any iota of humanity to reason compassionately,” he said they would not find Nigeria a safe haven, because “they would be hunted down without mercy and compromise.”
He reassured Nigerians that security would be tackled by his administration with vigorous determination.
The President, however, advised Nigerians to show more vigilance and be alert to the presence of suspicious people around them, adding that “the terrorists are enemies of religion and humanity.”
He explained that “no true believers in any God would target worshipers, holy places, or people who are fasting and other innocent Nigerians.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteCan you tell how much money did the past administration left for this government to run its affairs? Whenever you are talking, put some sense and think wise. I don't know why some people can not think before the say something that is more reasonable. The past administration spent six years without anything, but for this, we have started experiencing the change. Pls. learn how to talk and think before you talk.
