President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday said he will only negotiate with Boko Haram members if they can show him that the missing Chibok girls are alive and well. President Buhari said this while speaking with newsmen in Abuja
"Unless there is an evidence that the abducted Chibok girls are alive, I would not go into any negotiation with any group or persons fronting for the Boko Haram" he said.
Speaking on his pledge to defeat Boko Haram by December, President Buhari said: “As soon as the dry season comes, which is by the end of the year, Boko Haram will virtually be out of their main strongholds and that will be their waterloo”.
In other news, Buhari has reiterated his stand to end the Boko Haram insurgency by the end of December this year, 2015 and in the same vain, he has stated that failure to do so will not attract his resignation as many have suggested.
Boko Haram has killed over 1,600 people in Nigeria since Buhari took over as president.
