Nigerians wanted change, they must live with the consequences - FFK
Anyone that honestly believed that a man who secretly shares the same vision and core principles of Boko Haram and who spent many years defending them can do anything but give them a free hand when he comes to power is living in cuckoo land.
I am not surprised by all the recent bombings and killings. I am not surprised by the resurgence of BH and their new found barbarity, courage and zeal. Military checkpoints have been removed from our roads so what do you expect?

We may negotiate with Boko Haram - Buhari
The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and
Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Friday, disclosed in an interview with the BBC, that the
Federal Government has said that it is open to negotiations with the
Boko Haram sect in order to find a lasting solution to the security
crisis in the country, if the group is willing.
In the interview, Adesina said the Federal Government was not ruling out
negotiations with the sect if it would put an end to the activities of
the group, stating that the insurgents had attacked so many villages and
killed scores of people.
When BBC asked if the Federal Government was considering negotiations with the insurgent group, Adesina said:
“If they are willing, why not? You know attempts have been made for negotiations in the past and they didn’t work. 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.”

“These were very vicious attacks. People were killed in scores and it’s so sad,” he said.
The President had during his inauguration speech said he had launched a
strategy to deal with the sect by relocating the military headquarters
to Maiduguri, Borno State.
When asked if this would work, Adesina replied:
“This is going to work. There are machineries being put in place. It’s going to work. The recent killings by the sect were meant to break our resolve, to weaken it, but that will stop. It remains a priority to him (Buhari) to deal with the group.
“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.”
