ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY
PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI,
AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC CONFERENCE ON PEACE AND NATION BUILDING
ABUJA, 17TH MARCH 2016
PROTOCOLS

It is my great pleasure to join you this afternoon at the commencement of this International Conference for Peace and Nation Building, which I understand is a joint effort between Jama'atu Izalatil Bid'a Wa Iqamatis Sunna based here in Nigeria, and the Muslim World League.


2. I would like to welcome you all; especially those of you who took the time to travel from different parts of the world to attend this very important conference. In particular I would like to extend a warm welcome to His Eminence, Professor Abdullahi bin Abdulmohsin Al- Turki, the Executive Secretary of the Muslim World League.


3. The theme and timing of this conference are most apt, coming at a time when most of the world is grappling with one form of violent conflict or another. I am particularly impressed by the objectives of the conference, which include:
a. To promote national, regional and global cooperation against the spread of insurgency
b. To correct the distortions about the concept of peace in Islamic ideology and philosophy
c. To contribute to the global fight against terrorism because security is a shared responsibility.
d. To attract global attention to the plight of those most affected by the insurgency which is mostly concentrated in the North Eastern part of our country. These include Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), orphaned children, widows and the elderly who have been rendered homeless and helpless as a result of the insurgency.


4. I wish to commend the organizers JIBWIS Nigeria and the Muslim World League, for this initiative. By making the Conference multi-religious and multi- sectoral, you have broadened the scope of the discourses that the conference will generate and thus have enriched the ultimate gains that will accrue from this laudable initiative. I urge you to solidify and sustain this working relationship encompassing all Nigerians and our neighbours, irrespective of religion or tribe for the benefit of mankind.


5. In my inauguration address on 29th May 2015, I mentioned that Boko Haram is a mindless, godless group who are as far away from Islam as one can think of. I assured Nigerians that at the end of the hostilities when the group is subdued the Government would commission a sociological study to determine the origin, the remote and immediate causes of the movement, its sponsors, its international connections if any, to ensure that measures are taken to prevent a recurrence of this evil. The outcome of the proceedings of this conference will be useful in that regard.


6. As we have had cause to mention earlier, our government in joint cooperation with our neighbours, has substantially degraded the attacking capability of the insurgents to a level that has now compelled the insurgents to retreat. We will pursue them relentlessly until they become an item of history.


7. The tragic paradox of the global insurgency situation is that most of the atrocities committed by various insurgents all over the world today, are being carried out mainly by people who pretend to be Muslims, yet most of the victims and casualties are equally Muslims. To underscore their cruelty and godlessness, they particularly target the most vulnerable members of the society: children, women and the elderly. No religion approves of such heinous crimes against humanity; definitely not Islam nor Christianity, the two to which most Nigerians belong.


8. This is a tragedy which all normal people must rise up against. Islam does not permit lawlessness. It frowns at extremism even in normal acts of worship. The emergence of any group advocating the contrary is therefore irreligious and unacceptable. Religious leaders must intensify their efforts to send out the real teachings of their religion in order to counter the diabolical ideology that motivates the insurgent elements.


9. I wish to use this forum to call on all religious, community and political leaders to mobilize their followers against corruption and crimes of any kind. They should also encourage them to be more tolerant of each other; and recognize the rights of others as they want others to recognize their rights to worship and live freely.


10. Our country Nigeria has suffered many years of official neglect and corruption leading to untold hardships to the common man. I wish to assure you that our government will do everything possible to safeguard lives and property and also to ensure even development across the country.


11. The global economic challenges the world is grappling with today might well turn out to be a blessing for us in Nigeria, because it will stimulate the latent economic opportunities that we have left untapped for decades. Poverty breeds disaffection, which in turn leads to crime and lawlessness including confrontation against the State. To checkmate this, we must work hard to lift our economy, engage our youth and rebuild infrastructure. We can only achieve these with full cooperation of all Nigerians and under a stable polity. We are determined to do this and we shall not be deterred.


12. As I declare this timely conference open, I wish you all the blessings of God and successful deliberations.
Thank you.

Operation Islamize Nigeria

Omg! Finishing touches ......... They just signed the dotted lines

wetin sef

Buhari is too sectional. To me, he is not the leader of Nigeria, rather he is the leader of the north using the resources of the Nigerian commonwealth. He doesn't understand the challenges of the man in the south and I doubt it if he cares to know. A clear evidence is his handling (or non-handling) of the Fulani herdsmen attack on innocent farmers.


Meanwhile;


The greatest problem with President MUMUhadu Buhari so far is that he has visited so many countries but has refused to visit Nigeria
-Hell Rufai

Which way Nigeria?

No difference between APC anf PDP. You pack all your children into Central Bank and you are talking of "total war against corruption" and deceiving us with CCT trial. May Ogun strike all of you dead one by one

Nonsense people..

peacengine:

Why are u daft?

Please don't take offence it's a question.

mynd1:
Ok

......are u rili Fulani

Fellow Sunni brothers.

this is non-sense, how would this lead to economic growth

Whatever that serves the Zombies...I don't care anymore

Who thinks its quite easy to islamise Nigeria,should think again, "its easier said than done"..

When one I insults the dullard na, the zombies will start barking like dogs.

Is Nigeria the only African country with a Muslim president?
What's with all this buhari Islamic movement here and there?

He had better shove his plans to Islamize Nigeria down his anus, else he will die like a stubborn rat.

Nonsense!!!

Nonsense people..,they can only try bt it wud neva come to reality,their forefathers die tryin......its not dea fault,its d fault of dat confusionist muhamed
