All Progressives Congress leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that the slaughtering of over 43 farmaers in Zabramari, Borno State, by insurgents cannot be linked to Islam.
He said it could also not be linked to Christianity.
This is contained in a statement detailing his meeting with Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Monday.
He had paid him a visit to commiserate with him.
Saying the military needed to change their tactics, he noted:
“We have been on this (Boko Haram) for some time. We have seen the reaction of the Federal Government, we have seen the reaction of the armed forces, this is no longer conventional warfare, this is more tactical, more reason, cruder. In such a situation, what we do is to replan our strategy. We have seen the Governor’s life has been attacked more than one occasion in an effort to eliminate him but Allah is mighty, he has protected and will continue to protect you.
“You can’t concentrate, become innovative, and excel if you have to make educational development in fear. We saw people who have endured so much agony, denial, brutality decided to run to their farms to develop means of livelihood not only for themselves but for all of us, at the end they were slaughtered. That’s not religion, it is not in our religion (Islam), it is not in Christianity either, it is an act of wickedness.”
