Muhammadu Buhari: 'Boko Haram are not interested in peace'

26 February 2015

Nigeria's main presidential challenger has said he will not hold talks with Islamist militants if he wins elections next month.

In an interview with the BBC, Muhammadu Buhari said Boko Haram was not interested in peace.

"If they are interested in peace, how can they kill 13,000 Nigerians?" he asked.

The 72-year-old former military ruler also said it was not a good idea to postpone the elections, which were due to be held earlier in February.

The man (Buhari) is honest, patriotic and funny. We need this man as PRESIDENT more than he needs Nigeria.

Advertico:
Buhari once said that fighting boko haram is fighting the north. He once said that boko haram members should be given amnesty. It is election yr why is buhari not campaigning with what he said a little over a yr ago? Why is he not telling us that if he wins he will grant bokoharam amnesty. Why should boko haram be fought all of a sudden. he wants to win an election so badly he is busy lying to as many gullible people as he can deceive. I just pity those people who cant think for themselves.

He said that because some of our law enforcers were using the Boko Haram excuse to kill innocent people. Go on youtube, you will find so many of those videos whereby, the police and the military, see people walking and they stop them, only to tell them to lie down, and then they start shooting them.

There was this very disturbing one, where they stopped some handicapped people and told them to lie down, then they started shooting them. You could hear one of the officers saying "he is not dead. Shoot him very well". It's unfortunate, but it's still happening till this day.
