Garba Shehu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Garba Shehu on Tuesday said that the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration would never tolerate any form of religious rascality.<\/p>\n

According to the presidential spokesperson, although the government completely supports Nigerians to practice the religion of their choice but says it won\u2019t accept politicisation of religion.<\/p>\n

A statement issued by Shehu while reacting to calls by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to the Federal Government to everything it can to free all Christian in captivity of Boko Haram and Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) terrorists.<\/p>\n

The Presidency said:\u201d The security forces of Nigeria are working continuously to return those taken hostage by Boko Haram to their families, friends, and communities. In doing this, the government has full confidence in their ability to accomplish the task.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn its own part, the government has condemned some of the appalling acts of terror, especially following the festive period. Yet, to continue to see these happenings solely in religious terms \u2013 removed from social, economic and environmental factors \u2013 simplifies complexities that must be heeded.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot seeing them as they should be is exactly what the terrorists and groups wish: they want Nigerians to see their beliefs as a reason to turn against one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the contrary, Christians and Muslims alike are united in their opposition to Boko Haram and the hatred for decency that the infamous group stands for.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians must continue to be united in ensuring that they do not subscribe to the terrorists\u2019 message of division. Unfortunately, some leaders and politicians seek to make political capital from our religious differences.<\/p>\n

\u201d As we fight Boko Haram on the ground, so too must we tackle their beliefs: stability and unity in face of their hatred is itself a rejection of their worldview.<\/p>\n

\u201d This government shall never tolerate religious intolerance. We clearly and unambiguously restate our support for the freedom to practice whichever belief you wish. The politicisation of religion \u2013 as forbidden by the constitution \u2013 has no place in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
