President Buhari counter the opinion of of some Christians in Nigeria who is against the joining of coalition, wondering why such Christians had not gone to fight Boko Haram in the North or militants in the South.
It’s Nigeria that matters, not the opinion of some religious bigots,” he said “Why can’t those Christians that complained go and fight terrorism in Nigeria or fight the militancy in the South.
On whether he was trying to change the religious identity of the country, Buhari noted: “How can I change the religious identity of Nigeria? No religion advocates hurting the innocent and just because the Muslims are the ones that claim to be Boko Haram and they are killing innocent people whether in the church, in the bus or in the market place, then I will just sit and look at them because I too am a Muslim? Islam is against injustice in any form.”he said
