ATIKU TO BUHARI: DON’T RATIONALIZE KILLINGS

ATIKU ABUBAKAR HAS CAUTIONED PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI TO STOP RATIONALISING KILLINGS IN THE NORTH

Atiku Abubakar, former Vice-President of Nigeria and one time Presidential aspirant, on Wednesday released a statement urging the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), not to rationalize killings.

This was spurred by some opinions aired by Buhari, in an article published in Speaking Out, a guest opinion column for Christianity Today, on Tuesday that 90 per cent of all victims of Boko Haram atrocities were Muslims. He also added that the perception that attacks by Boko Haram insurgents always target Christians in Nigeria was untrue.

Atiku, on his verified personal twitter handle, @atiku cautioned the President against rationalizing killings. He said killings by any misguided group is wrong and should be condemned.

He tweeted, “We must not rationalise killings. Whether Christian, Muslim, traditionalist, or Atheist, the killing of any human being, by Boko Haram, or any other misguided group, is wrong and should be condemned unequivocally. There is no compulsion in religion. Only love -AA.”
