President Muhammadu Buhari has been approached by a faction, as it named itself, of the deadly Boko Haram sect, seeking peace negotiations with Nigeria’s government.

Garba Shehu, the presidential spokesman, made this known in a statement, saying that efforts were under way to “verify their claims” of having such power.

“A faction of the Boko Haram group came forward claiming to have the mandate to negotiate with the government,” he said.

Buhari’s government recently said it was not opposed to negotiations with the sect, which has killed thousands and left around 1.5 million people evacuated during its insurgency.

Shehu added: “It is now left for them to show proof that they have the mandate, but they made it clear that they are representing a faction of Boko Haram that wants peace.”

It should be noted that despite his earlier stance during the electoral campaign President Buhari has recently said he is willing to hold talks with Boko Haram commanders for the rescue of more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted last year.

The insurgents have killed more than 600 Nigerians in a spate of bombings and shootings since new president was sworn-in on May 29.

President Buhari will visit Cameroon on July 29-30 as part of efforts to cooperate with countries with which Nigeria shares borders.

It would be recalled that efforts to reach a peace agreement by the previous government of Goodluck Jonathan failed as Boko Haram denied holding any talks with government.

Some ppl ll just wake up nd cook lies on media.its unfortunate that some of our youths reason like market woman this days!the same buhari that prepared a ground for negotition after 2 weeks in office is fooling Nigerian by traveling ForG7 summmits,america nd cameroon for security issue.the sole called ex general could nt combat his brothers(boko haram) bt playing an ostrish game of negotiation.......shame!

bunch of idiots ......

Any peace negotiation with Boko Haram must be resisted and rejected in its entirety. Boko Haram has been labeled terrorist organisation and there shouldn't be any form of peace negotiation with them. Only negotiation for the release of any of their hostages which can include prisoner swap/exchange is what is acceptable.

Let them all come out on Channels TV before we believe them. And let them also know that there's no Amnesty for them. We just want to negotiate so as to Bring Back Our Gurls.

Their father! The president should not negotiate with terrorist. Those fools should be killed and their bodies given to pigs.

I don't mind peace talks,, as long as it is going to stop the inceassant killings






We aint America who don't negotiate with terrorists



If Negotiation will bring about the much awaited peace then so be it....
