President Muhammadu Buhari says he “will
not resign” if he is unable to fulfill his
promise of defeating Boko Haram by
December.
Buhari, who was speaking in an exclusive
interview with Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera
English’s ‘Upfront’, said he would instead be
“determined to stay on and fight it out”.
In the interview, which won’t be aired until
Friday night, the president also reiterated
his willingness to do a deal with Boko
Haram to free the kidnapped Chibok girls
on the condition that the true leaders of the
sect are the ones to be dialogued with.
“We said it and we meant it,” he said.
“They have to prove to us that they are
alive, they are well, and then we can…
negotiate with them.
We said it and we meant it. If we are
satisfied that the girls are alive.” Asked
whether he would offer financial payments,
or a prisoner release, to Boko Haram in
return for the girls, he refrained from ruling
out either option, saying: “Well, it depends
on the negotiations with the leadership of
Boko Haram.”
Still, he expressed assurance that Boko
Haram will be defeated by the end of 2015,
saying: “As soon as the rainy season comes,
which is by the end of the year… Boko
Haram will virtually be out of their main
stronghold and that will be the end of it….
Attacks by Boko Haram on townships, on
military installations, will certainly stop.”
He also said he had not seen the Amnesty
International report from June 2015,
‘Nigeria: Stars on their shoulders: Blood on
their hands’, in which the human-rights
group documented abuses, torture and
unlawful killings by the Nigerian armed
forces and urged the government to
prosecute a group of officers and senior
commanders.
“I haven’t received that report personally,”
he said. “If I get those documents… I assure
you that I will take action as Commander in
Chief.”
Asked about his record as a military dictator
in the mid-1980s, and the alleged human-
rights abuses which occurred on his watch,
Buhari said: “If there is any injustice that
can be proved against me when I was there,
I will gladly apologize.” However, he
refused to concede that his ‘war against
indiscipline’ in the 1980s featured any such
“injustice”

So long an end is brought to the bombing madness, Nigerians are less concerned by the means by which the bombings are stopped. As long as it doesn't include the death of innocent Nigerians. |

I thought he said he will resign? Somebody remind me please, anyway he should get to work and stop blabbing so that we would have at least something to hold on to and say he has done this, we all know some of his promises are just spoof, I wonder why the youths no more talks about the 5k monthly alawie or the food spree and host of other promises. |
