The Governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima has asked
President Jonathan to negotiate with Boko Haram men if that is what it
will
take to release the abducted Chibok girls. Governor Shettima made this
remark during an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour last night.
"The issue of not negotiation with the terrorists –
it’s out of the question. If it means talking
to the devil, it means the devil can come down, we can get back our
girls. The group that kidnapped the girls are a bunch of raving lunatics.
"Do we have any other
option? If I have to talk to the devil to secure the release of the
girls, I will do so. President Jonathan did not act on time and did not
talk to me over the kidnappings until 19 days after.’’
He also said for the first
three weeks after the girls were abducted, the whole thing was politicized.
Also speaking, a woman leader of the All Progressive
Party Sharon Ikeazor said the situation could have been salvaged on
time if the President had acted immediately. She said
