Lagos—CONVENER of the Save Nigeria Group, SNG, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said one of the ways to end Boko Haram insurgency is for the Federal Government to apologise to members of the sect over the murder of their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, in 2009.

He, however, said last Wednesday’s attack on former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari’s convoy in Kaduna State is an indication that bombing in the country is taking a new dimension.
Bakare, who is the Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, spoke during a state of the nation address at a church service in Lagos.

Proffering ways of ending the Boko Haram insurgency, Bakare said there was need for “updating and strengthening of military capability, creation of jobs and enhanced welfare to discourage recruits of the sect, diplomatic engagement with the international community, creation of an atmosphere of political inclusion rather than exclusion, among others. We need a strong and well coordinated approach to terrorism.”

Bakare, who was Buhari’s Vice-Presidential running mate in the 2011 presidential elections, said “but for the timely intervention of God, last week’s assassination attempt on General Muhamadu Buhari might have marked the beginning of the end for Nigeria if it had succeeded. We will not also ignore the fact that at the root of the escalation of the Boko Haram crisis was oppression and injustice.

”The summary execution of the Boko Haram’s former leader, Mohammed Yusuf in 2009 provided the soil of martyrdom for the nurture and growth of the sect. Government must declare peace first of all; apologising for the murder of Mohammed Yusuf to the sect members not their sympathisers or bandits.”

This is absolute madness ....................

It's like the pastor is creating an awareness and trying to attract Buhari's attention to himself. If not, how could a pastor voice this?

How many people have the Boko Haram apologised to, since they started killing innocent people? Christianity is in trouble where and when we have terrorist apologists in the fold.

If that will save our girls, and bring sustainable peace to Nigeria, I, Mr Ploy, on behalf of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan say sorry to the Boko Boyz.

That's all

Bakare stop drinking gin. It isn't good for your brain.

Rubbish if bakare don't know what to say he should please keep quiet.
Why should FG apologize to those heartless bastards who have killed a lot of innocent people, destroyed their properties rendered their towns and villages useless.
BH should be the once apologising to us for the way they have destroyed the lives of innocent Nigerians and ridiculed the name of this country in the hands of the foreign media.

This is why the PERSON of buhari is needed to rule nigeria. Bakare is supposed to be put behind bars for voicing such.

What da f**k? If this were said by a Muslim or northerner, the thread would have bee over 10pages of insults and castigation against his region n islam. Hypocrisy

Well, the guy was murdered by agents of the Government.
Always stand for what is right. Killing a man in cold blood extra-judicially is wrong and against the laws of this country.

Better to have tried Yusuf and executed him legally if found guilty.c
