President Goodluck Jonathan
said calamity would have
befallen Nigeria if former Head of
State, Muhammadu Buhari and
Islamic scholar, Sheik Dahiru
Bauchi, were killed in the July 23
bomb attacks in Kaduna.
The two leaders survived the
attacks that killed more than 40
people.
Speaking when a delegation of
the Muslim community, led by
Vice President Namadi Sambo,
paid him Sallah homage at his
official residence, in Abuja on
Sunday, President Jonathan
appealed to clerics in the
country to preach peace and
unity to their followers “and not
the gospel of hate”, saying that
the country could not develop
without peace.
He said, “Not too long ago we
had these dastardly attacks in
Kano and Kaduna. We stand to
condemn these acts of terror on
our people.
“And, we extend our condolence
and sympathy to the bereaved
and those who might have been
injured.
“The recent attacks in Kaduna,
especially where Sheik Dahiru
Bauchi and Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari were targets are quite
instructive.
“You can imagine if these two
people had died in the attacks.
“Sheik Bauchi is one of our top
Islamic preachers; he has
millions of followers. Buhari, a
former Head of State and leading
political figure, has massive
supporters.
“On the same day, people wanted
to kill them; those who planned
the attacks are clearly sons of
the devil, because if they had
killed these two people, we
wouldn’t have been here today;
this country would have been in
turmoil.
”We couldn’t have gathered here
to celebrate.”
Mr. Jonathan thanked God for
saving their lives and preventing
“a major calamity” that would
have befallen the country.
