1. Nothing will work in Nigeria
until Boko Haram is stopped.
“My people
want security in the country to be stabilized both in the South-South region
where militants are still sabotaging oil installations, kidnapping our people
and demanding ransom, and in the North-East of the country where Boko Haram is
still active. This is the main pre-occupation of Nigeria now and it seems
nothing will work until Nigeria is secured.”
2. The
government is cautious of whom it would negotiate with, on behalf of Boko
Haram.
“We have
to be very careful about the credibility of various Boko Haram
leaderships coming up and claims that they can deliver. We have to be very
careful indeed and we are taking our time because we want to bring them safe
back to their parents and their school.”
3. Buhari is ready for
negotiations as long as Chibok girls are safe and returned.
“I cannot
be against it because as I told you our main objective as a government is to
rescue those girls back to their schools and rehabilitate them back to normal
sight. If we are convinced that the leadership that presented itself can
deliver those girls safe and should, we will be prepared to negotiate what they
want.”
4. I won’t
spare my party men - If any of my associates or party member is
indicted of corruption, they cannot escape justice.
“I just
have to. There isn’t going to be any party member or any personality that can
escape justice. ”
5. Buhari
supports the process of trial of former Chadian dictator, Hissene Habre on
either international platform or Africa
“Justice
is Justice whether it is done in Africa or else in the world. The important
thing is let justice be done. Whatever evidence the prosecutors have in Senegal
I think they should proceed to make it available to the world and prosecute him
according to international law on Human rights. I support any process that is
based on Justice.”
