President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed that his government would protect all religious and ethnic groups, whether majority or minority in line with its responsibility under the constitution.

Malam Garba Shehu, one of the President’s spokesmen, said in a statement on Sunday in Abuja that Buhari made the assertion while reacting to reports of breakout of violence in some parts of the country by some ethnic and sectional groups.

The president warned that the government would not allow any ethnic or religious group to fan the embers of hatred and violence against other groups.

He condemned such violence and gave the assurance that his government would act decisively to stop the spread of any such violence.

He appealed to religious and traditional leaders as well governors and other elected leaders across the country to join hands with the Federal Government to ensure that communities in their domain were not splintered along ethnic and other primordial lines.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that normalcy has since been restored to Shasha community in Ibadan, where traders at the popular market in the area had clashed on Thursday and Friday. (NAN)

    If the President and his men are really serious about stopping the spread
    of ethnic and religious violence in the country,let them start by doing the
    followings, namely;
    1.The dismantling of their anachronistic Caliphate of Sokoto,which indeed
    is an Islamic Republic within our supposedly Seccular Commonwealth
    Republic of Nigeria.
    2.The imposition of Sharia in the country must be abrogated immediately.
    3.Our country must be pulled out of our OIC ,C8 and C15 Memberships.
    4. The Fulani power-that- be must call its Jihadist Killer Squads; the Boko
    Haram, Fulani Killer Herders and the ISWAP to order.
    The President and his men must also bear in mind that ours is a
    multi-cutural, multi-ethnic and a multi – religious country of nations.
    Thus ,unless the country is restructured immediately, the basis for the
    continuous cohabitation of the Indigenous Kwa/Bantu Nigerians with
    their barbaric,bellicose and murderous Fulani compatriots can no longer
    be possible , because given the current situation in the polity,native
    Nigerians have been pushed to the wall and indeed to the end of their
    teeters.
    Furthermore,the Fulani Leadership must once and for all declare a
    moratorium on religious killings,the ongoing Jihads in the country.
    The Presidency should be better advised to start reading the hand
    writings on the walls all over the country.
    Why must we, the Indignous Nigerians continue to swallow hook,line
    and sinker of President Buhari’s policies ,which indeed are based purely
    on economic sleaze cum financial brigandage,ethnic chauvinism,Islamic
    bigotry and unbridled nepotism?
    Enough is enough ojare!
    Above all, the message that Presiden Buhari and his cattle driver Fulani
    folks are nomore Nigerians than the Afrikaans (Boers) are South Africans
    must not be lost on them.
    Nigeria We Hail Thee.Lol!
    No to the status quo ante bellum!!
    Down with Hausa/Fulani Islamic Hegemony!!!
