“We must not rationalise killings- Atiku tackles President Buhari for saying 90% of Boko Haram victims are Muslims

Atiku Abubauakar, former Vice President and 2019 Presidential
candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, has asked President Buhari
not to “rationalise killings.”

Atiku made the statement while reacting President Buhari’s statement
that 90 percent of Boko Haram’s victims in the past years have been
Muslims.

“it is the reality that some 90 percent of all Boko Haram’s victims
have been Muslims. They include a copycat abduction of over 100 Muslim
schoolgirls, along with their single Christian classmate, shootings
inside mosques; and the murder of two prominent imams.

It is a simple fact that these now-failing terrorists have targeted
the vulnerable, the religious, the non-religious, the young, and the old
without discrimination, ” the President stressed.

Reacting to the President’s comment, Atiku Abubakar said the killing
of any human being irrespective of religion must be condemned
unequivocally.

“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 & should be condemned
unequivocally. There is no compulsion in religion. Only love,” Atiku
tweeted on Wednesday
