The statement read: “We are grieved and heavy hearted over the circumstances surrounding the foul-like killing of Nigerian soldiers in their prime in earnest.
“To allow the APC to continue with its poverty-breeding governance, styled ‘next level’ will exacerbate the hope-crashing condition of Nigerians, including the patriotic soldiers.
“So saddening that out of about 10 tenable strategies to emasculate terror, APC regime is deploying one, that is, military option, telling lies with zeal to have ‘decimated and degraded’ Boko Haram.
“A 2000-Year study of terrorism shows that both conciliative and coercive methods are deployed in fighting it. You can’t win terrorism war which purpose is hinged on religious ideology through neutralising the enemy who is ready and willing to die alone.
“We call on all Nigerian voters to troop out massively and vote out the APC across board in order for this great nation to rise again.
“We condemn all sorts of domestic and nomadic terrorism going on in Nigeria erroneously called herders-farmers’ clashes.
“We condemn disregard for the rule of law. We condemn outright governmental criminality committed through attack and extrajudicial killings of people who are exercising their rights to assembly and self determination."

Speaking at the Interfaith Conference on Religious Harmony in Nigeria, organised by the Interfaith Initiative for Peace, the president urged religious leaders to desist from partisan politics in order not to lose their value in the society.
