We’re ready to persuade Boko Haram to allow peace to reign – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration is ready to persuade Boko Haram insurgents to embrace peace and stop all terrorists activities.

While playing host to a delegation of residents of the Federal Capital Territory on Christmas day at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the President said he would use government institutions to persuade the insurgents to give peace a chance.

“On Boko Haram, this government is determined to make sure that we persuade them if they can be persuaded, we will use government institutions to persuade them to allow peace to reign.”

 

“We appreciate that the security agencies are doing their best and their best is showing and we have to continue praying for them. There can be no development without security; we have to continue to pray for them.

“We have two million people who are Internally Displaced Persons and 70 per cent are women and 70 per cent of them are children, some of them are orphans; they grew up not knowing their parents, tradition or culture.

“As leaders, we have a weighty responsibility to ensure that infrastructure for the orphans are taken care of.

“As leaders, we wake with the feeling for those children; the most important thing is that they must not be denied education. Schools must be rebuilt. We also thank Danjuma and the G7 led by the United States. They have been doing their best to help Nigeria train our military.”
