Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno says his government is in support of the Federal Government’s decision to dialogue with the moderate elements within the Boko Haram sect.

Mr. Shettima, who said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Maiduguri on Monday, noted that most conflicts in the world, including the country’s 1967-1970 civil war, were sorted out at the conference table.

“Unless we want to engage in an endless war, I believe it is irrational for anyone to oppose dialogue as a means of resolving conflicts.

“I see no reason why we should not engage the moderate elements in Boko Haram, who are willing to lay down their arms and who have recognised the territorial integrity of the nation, in a dialogue.
