President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his commitment to the protection of all religious and ethnic groups in the country, whether majority or minority, in line with its responsibility under the constitution.
This was contained in a statement by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity) issued Sunday night in Abuja.
Reacting to the outbreak of violence in parts of the country, Shehu said President Buhari warned that the government would not allow any ethnic or religious group to stoke up hatred and violence against other groups.
The President, as reported by Newsdiary Online, condemned such violence and gave assurance that his government would act decisively to stop the spread of any such violence.
He appealed to religious and traditional leaders as well as 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.
