President Buhari Reacts to Redeemed Christian Church Bombing in Potiskum

President Muhammadu
Buhari in a press release yesternight
has condemned the recent church
bombing on the outskirts of Potiskum,
Yobe State.
The statement, signed by Femi
Adesina, the Special Adviser to the
President on Publicity, says President
Buhari deeply regrets the unfortunate
loss of lives in the attack and
commiserates with all those who lost
loved ones in the incident which also
caused needless injury to others and
damage to the church building.
"The President wholly condemns the
resumption of attacks by terrorists on
places of worship which are highly
revered places of prayer and
communion with God for most
Nigerians.
"Nigerians are a very religious people
and President Buhari believes that the
terrorists who wantonly attack our
places of worship have willfully
declared war on all that we value, and
must therefore be confronted with all
our might and collective resolve.
The President reaffirms his
administration’s total commitment to
doing everything possible to eradicate
Boko Haram, terrorism and mindless
extremism from Nigeria in the
shortest possible time.
"President Buhari assures all Nigerians
that terrorism will ultimately be
defeated and full security restored in
all parts of the country for people to
safely practice their respective faiths
with liberty wherever they may reside
in the nation.
"The Constitution gives all Nigerians
that right and the present
Administration will deploy all
required force and resources to
protect citizens’ right to freedom of
worship.
