Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) has stressed that the regime of the president will not tolerate any form of religious instability in the country.

The Senior Special Assistant made this comment as a response to some of the recent statements made by the Christian Association of Nigeria.

CAN beckoned on the Buhari regime to deploy every necessary available resources at its disposal to ensure that all Christians in the captivity of Boko Ha­ram and ISWAP terrorists are freed.

This was after the Chairman of CAN in Michi­ka, Adamawa State, Rev. La­wan Andimi was kidnapped.

Shehu noted that the Buhari-led regime was doing all in his power to stem the tide.

“On its own part, 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 – removed from social, economic and environmental factors – simplifies complexities that must be heeded," he said.
