President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated the preparednessof the Federal Government to discuss the release of the Chibok girls kidnappedby Boko Haram terror group since 2014.


In an interview with journalists in Nairobi, Kenya at theweekend, President Buhari said the Nigerian government is ready to dialoguewith bonafide leaders of the terror group who know the whereabouts of thegirls.



"I have made a couple of comments on the Chibok girlsand it seems to me that much of it has been politicised.


"What we said is that the government which I presideover is prepared to talk to bonafide leaders of Boko Haram.


"If they do not want to talk to us directly, let thempick an internationally recognised Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO),convince them that they are holding the girls and that they want Nigeria torelease a number of Boko Haram leaders in detention, which they are supposed toknow.


"If they do it through the ‘modified leadership’ ofBoko Haram and they talk with an internationally recognised NGO then Nigeriawill be prepared to discuss for their release," he said.


President Buhari, who spoke to the media on the margins ofthe sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VI),warned that the Federal Government will not waste time and resources with``doubtful sources’’ claiming to know the whereabouts of the girls.


"We want those girls out and safe. The faster we canrecover them and hand them over to their parents, the better for us."


The President maintained that the terror group, whichpledged allegiance to ISIS, has been largely decimated by the gallant Nigerianmilitary with the support of immediate neighbours from Chad, Cameroon, Nigerand Benin.


"Some of the information about the division in BokoHaram is already in the press and I have read in the papers about the conflictin their leadership.


"The person known in Nigeria as their leader, weunderstand was edged out and the Nigerian members of Boko Haram started turningthemselves to the Nigerian military.


"We learnt that in an air strike by the Nigeria AirForce he was wounded. Indeed their top hierarchy and lower cadre have a problemand we know this because when we came into power, they were holding 14 out ofthe 774 local governments in Nigeria. But now they are not holding anyterritory and they have split to small groups attacking soft targets.


On the militancy in the Niger Delta region, the Presidentsaid the Federal Government is also open to dialogue to resolve all contendingissues in the area.


"We do not believe that they (the militants) haveannounced ceasefire. We are trying to understand them more. Who are theirleaders and which areas do they operate and other relevant issues," hesaid.
