“Every Nigerian irrespective religion or ethnicity should love thy neighbour as thyself and as equal citizens with equal rights void of envy and hatred.

“We must therefore all resolve to live together in love and unity as equal partners and fight the terrorist as a common enemy because the death of any Nigerian is a loss to all of us irrespective of the family he comes from.”
