Nigeria- Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Friday, in an interview with the BBC, says the president'll be open to negotiations with the Boko Haram sect.
“If they are willing, why not? You know attempts have been made for negotiations in the past and they didn’t work," he said.
"Every reasonable person would want to see the end to this insurgency. So if they are willing, why not? You can’t rule that out."
He also expressed optimism that the insurgency won't last much longer.
“You will notice that his first two weeks of administration were dedicated to tackling the insurgency. He visited Chad and Niger Republics and the following week, the Presidents of those countries also visited him in Abuja.
“The President of Benin Republic and the Defence Minister of Cameroon visited him; machinery is being put in place and once we’re through, we will see the end of the group. The target time for the deployment of the multinational force is July ending; that is in a couple of weeks.”
