National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Otunba Gani Adams, yesterday threw his weight behind the calls for dialogue with the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, urging President Goodluck Jonathan, to open up dialogue with members of the sect with a view to granting them amnesty.

He made this call while speaking with journalists during the 2013 Oke-Ibadan Festival organised by the OPC and Olokun Festival Foundation, which took place at the historic Mapo Hall, Ibadan, insisting on the promotion of history and culture as panacea to the socio-political and economic problems militating against the country.

The OPC leader, who supported the recent call by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Saad Abubakar, that members of the Boko Haram sect should be granted amnesty by the Federal Government, maintained that the call by the Sultan was in the best interest of the country.

He lamented that the lingering Boko Haram crisis has continued to give millions of Nigerians sleepless nights and has become a source of embarrassment to the country in the international community.

He said if granting amnesty to members of the sect will bring a lasting solution to the Boko Haram menace, it will not be out of place for the President to consider it.

Adams while maintaining that whatever that could be done to ensure peace in the country will not be too much for the Federal Government to do, enjoined President Jonathan to consider the Sultan’s suggestion.

He said if amnesty could be granted to militants in the Niger Delta, the same should be extended to members of the Boko Haram in the interest of peaceful co-existence of the country.

His words: “My position on the comment by the Sultan of Sokoto is that I support his suggestion. His suggestion was in order if it will bring a lasting solution to the Boko Haram crisis. After war-war, we should create a room for dialogue.

Nope. He has zero understanding of 'Amnesty'.. Won't blame him though, he is affiliated to terrorist tendencies...

Give amnesty to boko haram and u will see Adams in action demanding for amnesty for his group.

ADAMS STOP DREAMING HOPPING THAT ONE DAY U WILL BE GRANTED AMNESTY TOO. TELL AMNESTY ON WHAT BASIS?. OK WE SHOULD SHARIALIZE THE NORTH?, YOU MUST BE HURT, WHY DIDNT YOU BURN, OR KILL CHRISTIANS OR MUSLIM because OF YOUR BELIEVE TOO.

NB: NO AMNESTY TO TERORIST. BE WARN

Everyone now has a voice in Nigeria, even crooks, vagabonds, and ex-militant terrorist - all because of amnesty, clemency, plea bargain etc. In saner climes, Garri Adams should be in cooling gulag

Later it will be "if amnesty was granted to Niger Delta militants, Boko Haram, it should also be extended to OPC".

Gani should sharrap!

As usual the Yoruba man must come out in defense of his northern masters
