In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu (Malam), the President said that he is deeply touched by these mindless incidents of violence on innocent people during the month of Ramadan.
According to the President, ‘the terrorists are enemies of everybody and enemies of humanity everywhere.’ He explained that no sane people, who believe in any God would destroy the lives of innocent people in cold blood; adding that terrorists don’t represent any religion. He noted that the pattern of their indiscriminate violence against innocent people shows that they represent nothing else, but anarchy and devilry.
President Buhari 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 the physical threats of any group bent on creating chaos, confusion and destruction of social and economic life,” he warned.
President Buhari, who extended his sympathy to the families of the victims, reassured all Nigerians that his government would never tolerate any terrorist blackmail and that the country’s security forces would confront the Boko Haram bandits to the last man. Describing terrorists as cowards who lack any moral inhibition and iota of humanity to reason compassionately, he inferred that they would not find Nigeria a safe haven as they would be hunted down without mercy and compromise. He affirmed that security would be tackled by his administration with vigorous determination.
While advising Nigerians to show more vigilance and alertness to the presence of suspicious people around them, he added that the terrorists are enemies of religion and humanity. He further explained that no true believers of God would target worshipers, holy places or people who are fasting and other innocent Nigerians.
