WAR ???? Christians, Muslims Must Join Hands To Confront Boko Haram – Shehu Of Borno

Nigerians should see Boko Haram as a common enemy and not an
attempt by Muslims to Islamise or divide the country, Abubakar Ibn
Garbai, the Shehu of Borno, said yesterday.
Mr. Garbai, who is a member of the Inter Religous Council of Nigeria,
said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in
Maiduguri.
“Boko Haram is not a deliberate attempt by Muslims to attack
Christians; if it is, they would not have attacked me.
“If it is a question of targeting only Christians, 13 of my district
heads, two council members and many other Muslims would not
have been killed.
“The Emirs of Fika and Kano are Muslims, yet they were attacked
by the sect, who also killed many other Muslims leaders,” he said.
He said that some Christians worked in his office and some were
traditional title holders in his palace, adding that he held regular
meetings with the Christian community in the state.
Mr. Garbai said that Nigerians had fought in the past to keep the
country united and that they should do everything possible to
ensure that anything that could violate the country’s constitution
was not allowed. He also said Nigerians should try and settle their
differences through dialogue and not emphasis those things that
would divide them.
The Borno monarch also said that the Inter Religious Council of
Nigeria, which is made up of equal number of Muslims and Christians,
was set up by the government to advise it on how to move the
country forward. (NAN)
