The killing by Boko Haram has nothing to do with religion--- GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN

President Goodluck Jonathan has said
that the killing of innocent children and
women in markets, mosques, and
schools has nothing to do with religion.

He said this when members of the
Muslim community visited him in
commemoration of the Eid-Kabir Sallah
on Saturday.

The delegation was led by the Vice
President, Namadi Sambo, alongside the
Minister of State for the FCT, Mrs.
Olajumoke Akindele.
Jonathan, who said Nigerians should see
their neighbours as themselves, added
that:

“What is happening globally now
has no religious basis. Only
yesterday, a British aid worker was
slaughtered by ISIS and that is not
Islamic.

“I believe in this country, I believe
that Nigeria has a lot to offer not
only to Nigerians but to the world
and that surely we will get to where
we want to go.

“Whatever obstacles we see are
very ephemeral and part of history
of nation building, if you read the
history of all nations, there is no
nation that does not pass through
some challenges but they got over
it and moved ahead. I think we are
getting over our problems.”
