We won’t allow any ethnic, religious group to stoke hatred, violence against others ― Buhari

 

BY LINUS CHIBUIKE

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has said his administration will not allow any ethnic or religious group to stoke up hatred and violence against other groups.

He said his administration would also protect all religious and ethnic groups in Nigeria, whether majority or minority, in line with its responsibility under the Nigerian Constitution.

The President said this in a statement on Sunday night, signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in reaction to violent ethnic clashes in some parts of the South West.

The President condemned such violence and assured that his government would act decisively to nip the development in the bud.

He also appealed to religious and traditional leaders, as well governors and other elected leaders across the country, to join hands with the Federal Government to ensure that communities in their domains were not splintered along ethnic and other primordial lines.

“Our government will protect all religious and ethnic groups in Nigeria, whether majority or minority, in line with our responsibility under the constitution,” Buhari said.

He added, “We will not allow any ethnic or religious group to stoke hatred and violence against other groups.

“I appeal to religious and traditional leaders, as well as Governors and other elected leaders across the country, to join hands with the Federal Government to ensure that communities in their domain are not splintered along ethnic and other primordial lines.”
