The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, has called on the federal government to negotiate with Boko Haram in order to secure the release of the abducted Chibok girls.
The speaker made the call yesterday at the National Assembly while receiving members of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. The Speaker said he had made his position on the situation known last year in Kano.
“If negotiating is what will bring back, for instance, our Chibok girls, then for God’s sake, we should negotiate,” he said. “Negotiating does not just mean you are submitting; you are not. It is just a strategy. Whatever we have to do we must do, to bring back these girls safe and alive,” he added.
The Speaker also called security operatives to be civil in dealing with the #BringBackOurGirls group.
