Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said that the politicisation of religion – as forbidden by the 1999 Constitution (as amended) – has no place in Nigeria.

Shehu, who was respond­ing to some recent state­ments from the Christian As­sociation of Nigeria (CAN), maintained that the Buhari’s administration will never tol­erate religious intolerance, reiterating that administra­tion’s support for the freedom to practice whichever belief any Nigerian wishes.

CAN, had on Monday urged the President Bu­hari-led government 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.

A statement by President of CAN, Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle, signed by his spokesman, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, recalled that the Chairman of CAN in Michi­ka, Adamawa State, Rev. La­wan Andimi, was abducted by Boko Haram terrorists last week when they invaded the predominant Christian community.

Responding via a state­ment personally signed by him, the presidential spokesman explained that the security forces of Nige­ria are working continuously to return those taken hostage by Boko Haram to their fam­ilies, friends and commu­nities, adding that in doing this, the government has full confidence in their ability to accomplish the task.

According to the state­ment, “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.

Are you saying the Christian community is the most violent society in Nigeria?

Why are we so economical with the truth in this part of the world. Is a curse to live under the same roof as brother?

One of them...

I don't want to say CAN is a useless organization, but really it is.

Zero achievement since it came into being. All they do is fight for who will chop clean mouth. They should first vomit the 6billion Jonathan bribed them with. Oloshi!

Bokoharam doesn't select whom to kill by religion. They kill Muslims too

Garba Shehu and the presidency are both foolish and stupid

Is it Buhari that is only interested in Sharia and advancing Fulani agenda that will stand for religious tolerance....

The United States and the world knows that Nigerian Christains are persecuted under this administration...

No terrorist zombie can hide the truth

Government dont recognize muric.

Wow. Chinekemee. What kind of were president is this. Nigeria is under the international spotlight for Islamic terrorism. Can president and Leah sharibu still in bondage. Thousands of Christians killed in the North and Buhari has the audacity to attack CAN.

Maybe Buhari needs to be reminded that CAN MEANS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA It means ALL THE CHRISTIANS. We are not almajiri, illiterates or cow herders.e are smart, powerful and serve a MIGHTY MIGHTY GOD. He needs to go and sit down in his hole and thank his stars that done AFONJA Muslim sold out. The rest of Nigeria is not the South West. If he keeps attacking CAN, HE WILL WAKE UP A TIGER THAT WILL DEVOUR HIM.

This is a joke right?
You can't call killers to order but feel the verbal reaction of CAN is violating constitution.

Hisbah is being empowered to displace federal police in criminal investigation and same presidency is silent. The judiciary is being replaced by a religious one and Garba Shehu is keeping mum about it. Nigeria is done.

Your are going down mentally without realizing it. Your obsession with the idea of promoting a Yoruba division has blinded you from seeing that people have right to vote who they choose and that 2011 and 2015 and 2019 voting pattern in SW was very similar.

You are right about that. The Yorubas sold out en masse. Christian and Muslim. Now regarding 2011, the SW voted for the rational voice. You however decline to speak on the elephant in the room. The radical Islamic bias of Buhari which is self evident. With Templar in your name, I am disappointed. People are dying, in Bondage, mothers are crying. But this Templar is talkin about voting patterns
