We Will Not Negotiate With Boko Haram Out Of Weakness – Presidency by msmon(m): 9:20pm On Jul 04, 2015
The Presidency on Saturday made clarifications on
any possible negotiation with the Boko Haram sect.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the
President, Femi Adesina, in a statement titled
“Amplification of comments on negotiations with
Boko Haram”, said the Federal Government will not
shy away from any negotiation initiated by the
Boko Haram sect.

Although he pointed out that United States also
negotiated with the Talibans in Afghanistan at some
point in time, he said if the government will go into
such negotiation, it will be from a point of strength
and not weakness.

Adesina said President Muhammadu Buhari, who
has won such insurgency before, was now poised
to win the fight against Boko Haram.

He said: “Most wars, however, furious or vicious,
often end on the negotiation table. So, if Boko
Haram opts for negotiation, the government will not
be averse to it.

“Government will, however, not be negotiating from
a position of weakness, but that of strength. The
machinery put in place, and which will be set in
motion soon, can only devastate and decapitate
insurgency.

“It is multinational in nature, and relief is on the
way for Nigeria and her neighbours. President
Muhammadu Buhari is resolute. He has battled and
won insurgency before. He is poised to win again.
It is a promise he made to Nigerians, and he is a
promise keeper.

“But I say again, if the insurgents want to
negotiate, no decent government will be averse to
such. Didn’t the Taliban and Americans also
negotiate in Afghanistan?”

Saying this is a show of weakness, the FG should just go ahead and do the needful. The rate of killing by those errant boys is very alarming.MON33

Why this soooo muchhh trust on the Multinational thing? Someone once condemned our neighbors joining us to fight boko haram! When you are not in government, dont criticize everything the government does because you never can say the reason it took such action. This is what is playing out now

Amaerica never had negotiation with Taliban for them to drop their arms. It never happened at any time. America don't negotiate with terrorists.

So why not make use of the machinery? Why consider negotiating with terrorists that are killing our brothers up north?

Illiteracy is a virus. Look at a well educated Adesina being dribbled about by the "certificateless " virus. GEJ we miss you. Come back bc it seems nobody is taking responsibility of our national affairs right now.

Talk of double speaking and double facedness which has characterised this government from the word "GO"

If you already have machineries that will be put in place soon to decapitate these folks, why bother negotiating?

You negotiate because you do not have all the cards.
That in itself is a subtle sign of weakness.

the MNJTF is what is necessary for stopping BH...it is the only way.what they will do is to choke them from all four corners...Chad, Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria.they wont be able to either regroup or re strategize.Nigeria is leading the MNJTF,i think that is what is important.

For all we know, these lot could be looking for a perfectly played script to end the BH menace having politicised it heavily against the previous administration.

I have said it before that whether this BH Saga and BBOG campaign comes to an end or not, if any human orchestrated and supported them, to bring down another, and in the course of all that, lives upon lives were lost as well as displaced...

Except they confess, even if GEJ is among, whoever they are....
I don't give a hoot. My decree is that they will never see the good of the land. Never! No matter their riches, it will continually haunt them.

You don't play crass tumbu tumbu with human lives and expect to walk freely without a sense of remorse.
We are keenly watching Buhari

But during the various campaigns, the APC explicitly said: ''We shall defeat Boko Haram''...there was even a big a$$ billboard ad to that effect in my location.

Do they want to take the cowardly way out now?
