President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday
said that members of the Boko Haram sect were not Muslims because no
true adherents of Islam would subject the country to killings, bombings
and other gory attacks the way they had done.
From their modus operandi, Jonathan
stated that the sect members were products of international terrorism
and “not members of Islam or any other religion in Nigeria.
“Those who mindlessly and indiscriminately attack worship places, schools, health workers, motor-parks, banks and ordinary road users must be seen as they truly are: the brainwashed pawns of international terrorism.
They do not represent any true religion or section of the country and we must never play into their hands by succumbing to their nefarious ploys to incite religious, ethnic hatred and division among us,” the president stated.
In his Easter message to Nigerians yesterday, Jonathan urged Nigerians who he described as “dear countrymen and women” to continue to exhibit restraint and understanding in the face of seeming provocations.
Goodluck Jonathan“We must have peace, security and stability to effectively implement our agenda for national transformation in all parts of the country and we shall continue to work ceaselessly to re-establish the prerequisite conditions for nationwide progress and development.”
