Buhari: I won’t beg Boko Haram for dialogue
Buhari and his spokesman, Adesina
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his administration will not beg the Boko Haram terrorist group for dialogue.
President Buhari stated this late Saturday night through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.
Adesina, while speaking as a guest on The Channels Television 10pm News, maintained that the Federal Government had the capacity to defeat the Boko Haram insurgents through the use of force.
According to him, President Buhari’s administration is not opposed to dialogue if the sect wants it and especially if it is with the authentic leadership of the insurgents.
The presidential spokesman, however, emphasised that the government would never dialogue with the terrorist group on bended kneels or position of weakness.
“Government has the capacity to deal conclusively with the Boko Haram insurgency through force of arms. But if they want dialogue, and it is established that it is the authentic leadership, government is not averse to dialogue. But that dialogue will never be done on bended knees, or position of weakness,” the presidential aide said.
Buhari had on September 15 revealed that his administration had begun negotiation with some leaders of the Boko Haram sect to secure the release of the over 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted on April 14, 2014.
President Buhari was at that time in Paris fielding questions from members of the Nigerian Community in France.
