[News] We Cant Rule Out Negotiation With Boko Haram-Presidency

The Federal Government of Nigeria is open to
negotiations with the Boko Haram sect if the
leaders of the sect are willing to negotiate.

This according to the Special Adviser to President
Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi
Adesina, is in order to find a lasting solution to the
security crisis in the country.
In an interview with the BBC on Friday, June 3,
2015, Adesina said, ‘If they are willing, why not?
You know attempts have been made for
negotiations in the past and they didn’t work. Every
reasonable person would want to see the end to
this insurgency. So if they are willing, why not? You
can’t rule that out.
‘
Lamenting on the insurgents’ various attacks on
villages and killing scores of people, Adesina the
effort to end the sect remains a priority to President
Buhari.

‘These were very vicious attacks. People were
killed in scores and it’s so sad,‘ he said.
On the President’s relocation strategy of the
military headquarters to Maiduguri, Borno State
working wonders, Adesina said, ‘This is going to
work. There are machineries being put in place. It’s
going to work. The recent killings by the sect were
meant to break our resolve, to weaken it, but that
will stop. It remains a priority to him (Buhari) to deal
with the group.

‘You will notice that his first two weeks of
administration were dedicated to tackling the
insurgency. He visited Chad and Niger Republics
and the following week, the Presidents of those
countries also visited him in Abuja.

‘The President of Benin Republic and the Defence
Minister of Cameroon visited him; machinery is
being put in place and once we’re through, we will
see the end of the group. The target time for the
deployment of the multinational force is July ending;

that is in a couple of weeks.’ he disclosed.
