Atiku Attacks Buhari Over Comment On Boko Haram Victims

The former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has faulted the claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that more Muslims were killed by Boko Haram sect in North-east.

Atiku in a tweet on Wednesday expressed disappointed over Buhari’s interest in the religion of the victims.

He declared that the activities of Boko Haram should be condemned without mincing word regardless of the victims’ religion.

“We mustn’t rationalise killings. Whether Christian, Muslim, Traditionalist, or Atheist, the killing of any human being, by Boko Haram, or any misguided group is wrong and should be condemned unequivocally. There is no compulsion in religion. Only love,” Atiku tweeted.

The President had claimed that it is not true that the Boko Haram insurgency had claimed the lives of more Christians than Muslims.

Buhari stated that “90 per cent” of deaths from attacks by the terrorists were Muslims.

The President gave his position in an op-ed published in Speaking Out, a guest opinion column for Christianity Today, a United States-based magazine.
