Boko Haram Will Be Persuaded To Accept Amnesty – Pres. Buhari


President Muhammadu Buhari has once again reiterated the resolve of his administration to persuade Boko Haram insurgents to accept peace.

 Speaking at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja when the FCT Christian Community paid him a Christmas homage, President Buhari said his administration will use government institutions to persuade the insurgents to allow peace to reign.

His words: “On Boko Haram, this government is determined to make sure that we persuade them if they can be persuaded, we will use government institutions to persuade them to allow peace to reign. “We appreciate that security agencies are doing their best and it is showing, and we have to continue praying for them.”

He stressed that there can be no development without security, adding that they have to continue to pray for the security agencies. President Buhari also recalled that from the analysis of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the campaign, the three biggest problems the party discovered are security, unemployment of youths which make up 65 per cent of the population and 65 per cent of them are unemployed.

The other challenges, according to him are “bribery and corruption”. We are not too happy but we are happy that our analysis of the problems have not been challenged.”
