Why Presidency Should Dialogue With Boko Haram ... Hon Aminu Tambuwal

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, has given reasons why the presidency should welcome decision by Islamic fundamentalists, Boko Haram, to dialogue with the Federal Government, saying the development may see the end to terrorism in the country.  

In his words: 

He said, “The House of Representatives is the House of the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and any step that can bring peace to the country or any part thereof, the House of Representatives will support it. If the Boko Haram is now accepting that there should be a kind of peace path with the Federal Government, I am sure that will be in the interest of all Nigerians.

“There will be a dialogue; it may not necessarily have to be all the conditions they have given or about to give that would be met, the government should be engaged and see how best we can resolve issues,” he added. According to Tambuwal, “the country is facing quite a lot of challenges, but those of us that find ourselves in the position of leadership are doing our best to ensure we have a stable polity where there is peace and progress.”
