    A group, the Light and Oneness for Good Leadership Association, has asked Boko Haram , an Islamic sect, to shun violence; andrespect the right to life of every Nigerian.
It said the right to life of every citizen of the country was inalienable as contained in the country's constitution.
     Founder of the group, Imowo Andrew, who said this in Uyo on Thursday, averred that respect for people's right to life and peace were vital tools for the development of the country.
     He stated that if respect for man's right to life was lacking, development, which requires peace, would also be lacking.
     He stated that there were certain things one should not tackle with force, adding that when individuals and organisations were urging President Goodluck Jonathan to use force to end the activities of the sect; the President knew such efforts could degenerate into something else.
    He said, "Through the President's patience, he has shown Nigerians and the world that we are not at war; that Nigeria is going through a phase in her history and it will soon overcome it. We need to understand the President, we need to support him.
    "He is the only President I have seen that understands the problem of this country. Ranging from his agricultural policy to power sector, one can see that he is really serious about tackling the problem of this country." On whether the President would seek a second term in office, Andrew said the Jonathan had the right like any other Nigerian to seek re-election.                                             Punch newspaper
