Its true that d majority of d victims of d insurgents are Muslims;It’s also true that d victims of their violence cuts across people of all faiths and of no faith; But it’s undeniable that d insurgents habour an ideologically gruesomely murderous hatred against all Christians.
Shehu Sani, former senator who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th national assembly, has concur with President Muhammadu Buhari’s claim that majority of Boko Haram victims are Muslims.
Sani however, admitted that it is undeniable fact that the Boko Haram insurgents hate all Christians with passion.
President Buhari had said that 90 percent of Boko Haram victims are Muslims and that the insurgents are seeking to use religion to divide Nigerians.
He said there is no room for those who seek to divide Nigerians on the basis of religion.
The president said this in an article on Christianity Today on the d**th of Lawan Andimi, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Michika local government area of Adamawa state on Monday.
He said Nigeria is winning the fight against Boko Haram insurgents, and that the group has failed in its campaign, but now seeks to divide Nigerians using religion as a weapon.
“Indeed, it is the reality that some 90 percent of all Boko Haram’s victims have been Muslims: they include a copycat abd**tion of over 100 Muslim schoolgirls, along with their single Christian classmate; shootings inside mosques; and the murder of two prominent imams,” he wrote.
“It is a simple fact that these now-failing t**rorists have targeted the vulnerable, the religious, the non-religious, the young, and the old without discrimination. And at this point, when they are fractured, we cannot allow them to divide good Christians and good Muslims from those things that bind us all in the sight of God: faith, family, forgiveness, fidelity, and friendship to each other.
“The t**rorists today attempt to build invisible walls between us. They have failed in their territorial ambitions, so now instead they seek to divide our state of mind, by pulling us from one from another—to set one religion seemingly implacably against the other.
“Of course, there is much of Christianity and Islam—both in teaching and practice—that are not the same. Were that not so, there would be no need for the separateness of the two religions.”
But reacting on his official twitter handle on Thursday Sani said: “Its true that d majority of d victims of d insurgents are Muslims;It’s also true that d victims of their violence cuts across people of all faiths and of no faith; But it’s undeniable that d insurgents habour an ideologically gruesomely murderous hatred against all Christians.”
