President Muhammadu Buhari says an ongoing crisis within the Boko Haram leadership, which has led to factions and breakaway groups, brought a number of unforeseen challenges to the process of negotiating with the terrorists for Chibok schoolgirls’ release.

Buhari, in a statement yesterday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said: extended his good wishes to the people of Chibok as they held prayers and thanksgiving services to mark the sixth anniversary of the kidnapping of their daughters by the insurgents.

The president said the current COVID-19 pandemic, with restrictions on movement, made it impossible for any government delegation to be with them during the event.

He said: “The armed forces of the country who are on general operations in the entire region continue in their hope that they would encounter these girls, as they did thousands of other hostages, rescue and bring them back home.

“The nation’s security and intelligence community, in whom a lot of hope, is reposed in rescuing the abducted girls is making a lot of efforts using backroom channels to get them back to their families.

These are processes, formal and informal that involves different groups with links to the terrorists, and are very tedious and uneasy as is seen in different parts of the world.

“The issue of the Chibok girls is not a forgotten issue. We cannot go to sleep over this matter. We are optimistic that ongoing efforts will yield something positive.”

He added: “In the past few years, our armed forces have recorded huge successes in the battle against Boko Haram, but they have also been careful to ensure that as few civilian lives as possible were lost in the process. We would rather ensure the young women still in captivity were freed alive.”

God help this country

Can Nigeria ever get better?I don't think so. In the next ten years what will be our leaders and citizens plans?well is the normal routine,apc and pdp will fight to rule with the youths supporting them,apc will win,blame game will continue without coming together to demand for a better country,apc will rule for 8 years,time for election they will be struggle for power which the youths will still support them maybe pdp will win and rule for 8years this time,and apc will look for a way to sabotage the government.So I don't see Nigeria getting better in the next 20years.

Buhari is just a complete dullard. He is talking nonsense,living in nonsense,eating in nonsense, and sleeping and waking in nonsense.

Lies and more lies

But come to think of it how does Buhari has first hand knowledge about what is happening in the camp of boko haram and their commanders

They want to reimburse bokoharam after Chad defeat in the name of negotiation

Chai!! This man is still finding means to empower BH boys.

Shame

This chibok girls saga nah pre-planned.. its all to tarnished and useless goodluck Jonathan.. But I pray to God to expose all those behind it. U can't escape it, you will all reap all what u sow amen

The zoo government, the Lord will deliver una

Somebody must be blamed. No more GEJ or PDP it's now Shekau very soon it will be ISIS or Trump.

Tueh PMB

So chino girls still deh agenda...

Them pikin go Don den secondary school na

We do not negotiate with terrorist. Idris Deby of Chad has shown that in two weeks Book haram can be wiped out. Enough of this negotiation. We do not want negotiation. We want action. It's obvious since Idris tempered with there cash cow, our Chief of army staff has moved his ass to the north East. It speaks volum and now we are hearing negotiation again.

Are they still talking about Chibok girls? After years of no tangible result.

Who do Nigeria like this?

In essence, Nigeria is waiting for Boko guys to elect a new leader first, so that they can know who to negiotiate with.

Nigeria be like:
“Hello Uncle Shekay, call us after your elections”

Nigeria won't get better because people like you don't want it to get better.

You guys vote for a party based on how much you will chop, even the concept of good governance is judged on how much you chop from government.

When PDP was in power, there were many PDP supporters here who turned a blind eye to the problems of Nigeria, and when they could no longer do so, they blamed the opposition. Meanwhile there were many APC supporters here before 2015 who would write long and wonderful epistles about how bad things were in Nigeria and how it was time for change....and how PDP was evil

Since 2015, it is now the APC supporters blaming the opposition for Nigeria's problems and the PDP saying that things are bad, and writing the wonderful epistles.

It has even degenerated to the point where people are not interested in developing the country.

You Nigerians don't want development. You want awoof. That's why you vote for parties that give you awoof like Sure P and Npower. Even fuel subsidy that has been sapping and destroying our economy, you vote for that to stay

Then you come and be saying that Nigeria is a bad country...when you made it that way.

Go and form your own party and be the change you want to be.

So they don't know their leaders again

Ayam not undastanding.

Chai!!!!

This kind of negotiation will be to release few girls in exchange of Boko haram terrorists in prison.
Or will it be on exchange for funds?

I pity those innocent girls and their mental state.
They have become women in captivity, if not wives and mothers.
The present government failed!!!
