Obasanjo Stresses The Need For FG To Negotiate With Boko Haram Over Chibok Girls

An ex President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, made more revelations on the issue of negotiating with Boko Haram terrorists and rescuing of over 200 female students of Girls’ Governmental Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State.

Shortly after giving his comments to BBC Hausa, OBJ, who is currently in Senegal, came up with more details in a phone talk with Premium Times on June 12, 2014, Thursday.

The ex President confirmed that it would be “inconceivable” to get all the kidnapped girls back to their homes, pointed out that it would be a “near-miracle” if it happens.

He further emphasised one again that Jonathan’s administration had failed to act early enough on the mass abduction, and insisted that the best option for now were negotiations with the members of the sect.

Obasanjo stated that reaction in 72 hours is considered as late in such cases. However, it took Jonathan three weeks to make public statement on the abduction, and to proceed to actions by naming a “fact-finding” committee.http://www.informationng.com/2014/06/obasanjo-stresses-the-need-for-fg-to-negotiate-with-boko-haram-over-chibok-girls.html/obj-4-6
