Northern Leaders Demand Amnesty For Boko Haram by Trailblazer1(m): 10:11am On May 23, 2015 |
Top northern leaders have called on the President -elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, rtd, to declare amnesty for Boko Haram insurgents when he takes over power on May 29. Among the prominent leaders making the call are: the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Mohammed Uwais and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Ambassador Babagana Kingibe and former Nigerian Ambassador to the United Nations, Ibrahim Gambari Their call was contained in a communiqué issued after a two-day conference with the theme: “Security and Governance Challenges in Africa’s largest Democracy,” by the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development, SCDDD, as part of its “Nigeria Beyond 12015 Project,” in Abuja yesterday. The joint statement was signed by Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, founder of Savannah Centre, Major General Ishola Williams, Executive Secretary, Pan-African Strategic and Peace Research Group, PAN-AFSTRAG, Justice Mohammed Uwais (chairman of the occasion) and Ambassador Abdullahi Omaki, executive director of the Savannah Centre. They also called on the Federal Government ‘’to expedite action on the compensation of victims of Boko Haram terrorism and insurgency through the established and funded Victims’ Support Fund,’’ and for urgent priority attention to the special economic programme for the North East by the incoming administration, just as they condemned ‘’the carnage, devastations and displacements, which the Boko Haram group inflicted upon many innocent Nigerians in the north east region.’’ The communiqué further called ‘’for the establishment of a special economic programme for the affected states of the North-East, focusing on rehabilitation, resettlement and reconstruction,’’ as well as on the need for ‘’the governors of the North-East States and indeed of the entire North, on the necessity for a blueprint that addresses the issues of vocational and skills-acquisition education for the youths.’’ Diezani reportedly jets out with Buhari to London Among those who participated in the conference were the National Security Adviser, NSA, Col Sambo Dasuki, rtd, (represented by Ambassador C.L. Olaseinde); the Secretary, Borno State Elders’ Forum, BSEF, Dr Bulama Gubio (who represented Governor Kashim Shettima); Dr. Zakariya Ousmane Ramadene of N’djamena, Chad. Prof. Abubakar Momoh, DG, Electoral Institute, INEC, Abuja and Professor Habu Galadima, director research, NIPSS, Jos, Plateau State. http://dailypost.ng/2015/05/23/northern-leaders-demand-amnesty-for-boko-haram/ |

You don't grant amnesty to captured terrorist, you grant to "surrendered terrorist". I trust Buhari will not take this step. |

These northern leaders are devils... So now that the war is though and they know that there is no more hope and hiding place for boko haram... Soldiers should just go and kill those so called northern leaders cos they're the sponsors of boko haram. |

Thankfully, Buhari knows better. I don't see Buhari dishing our amnesty like confetti, unlike his predecessor. |

Patiently waiting for Boko Haram to be given amnesty. Even the Niger Delta amnesty program should be scrapped ,it's a scam on Nigerians to settle some criminal political elites of the Niger Delta. Introduce a people oriented programs and sincerely build sustainable infrastructures and watch every form of militancy disappear overnight. |
