BEVERLY HILLS, February 05, (THEWILL) – The presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has faulted President Muhammadu Buhari over claims that more Muslims are killed by Boko Haram.
Atiku made his position known in a tweet on Wednesday in response to an Op-Ed published on Tuesday by Buhari.

Atiku tackled Buhari for being concerned with the religion of the victims insisting that the activities of Boko Haram should be condemned outrightly regardless of the victims’ faith.
“We mustn’t rationalise killings. Whether Christian, Muslim, Traditionalist, or Atheist, the killing of any human being, by Boko Haram, or any misguided group is wrong and should be condemned unequivocally. There is no compulsion in religion. Only love,” Atiku tweeted.
The President had claimed that it is not true that the Boko Haram insurgency had claimed the lives of more Christians than Muslims arguing that the contrary was the case, insisting that “90 per cent” of deaths from attacks by the terrorists were Muslims.
