Remember how the amnesty committee was brimming with confidence last week, saying that the emergency rule and peace initiatives were two prongs in a ‘multi-pronged’ approach in a push towards rectifying our nation’s security challenges.
Well think again.
The Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in Northern Nigeria now has no clue on how to meet the leadership of the Boko Haram insurgents.
The Chairman of the Committee and Minister of Special Duties, Alhaji Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, dropped this bombshell yesterday in Kaduna.
Turaki pleaded for help in this regard from willing members of the public or anyone with links to the terrorists to initiate the dialogue process.
Erm, anyone with ‘links’ to the terrorists? Who would want to implicate himself?
He said this while on a courtesy visit to Kaduna Governor, Alhaji Mukhtar Yero.
According to him: “We want anybody that may have links with some of these people to direct us to ease the process of dialogue in such a way that will ensure transparency and honesty which are the hallmark of this committee. We on our own have no clue on how to meet any of their leaders.
“The committee is in Kaduna as part of its nationwide tour; particularly in the affected areas for the purpose of enhancing consultation.”
This is the most belated stance that Turaki has taken since he took his ‘posh’ job earlier this year.
