The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has called for benefit of doubt for repentant Boko Haram insurgents.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has called for benefit of the doubt for repentant Boko Haram insurgents.

Lawan said this while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of his meeting with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday. He also denied reports that he and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, were bribed with $10m to influence members of the National Assembly to pass the controversial Petroleum Industry Act.

Answering a question about whether he was optimistic Boko Haram war would come to an end, the Senate President said, “Yes, I’m optimistic that not only Boko Haram, the insurgency in general; because, in addition to Boko Haram you have ISWAP and probably other tangential groups like that. “What we need to do is to have a clearly defined national policy on how we deal with this because unless we have a strategy, we may be overwhelmed and it could deny us the opportunity of getting the best out of this surrender.”

Isn't this insanity? With all the challenges posed to our national security and unity by these terrorists, our political leadership are seeking our understanding in dealing with them!🤬🤬🤬 Later, one joker would come out of za oza room and talk about language they understand

Understanding? If your own child had been kidnapped or killed, then you will show understanding to the masses!

Chai

Don't worry Mr Lawan. They will soon take over the national assembly. Then, you will be hiding.

Go ask buhari and Osibanjo

A lot of guys in prison has repented since why re they not been considered too🤔🤔😣🤗

He's either stupid, mad or just purely wicked!

Since the SPNigeria DrAhmadLawan can classify the genuine repentance from the counterfeit, we beg him to use his good office to hand pick the genuine and keep them in his compound. May the spirit of terrorism abound with you and your family in CHRIST name. Amen.

Lawmaker pleading for lawbreakers - an irony!

Because they’re your brothers, nonsense

I laughed 😁😁😁😁 as if he did not understand.

So many that repented still went back to fight. Is Afghanistan not teaching us a lesson yet. If IPOB members should repent will lawan sing same tune. Anything to do with the north is OK. Kyari is a good example of north and criminals.

See them

This man again

I don't really understand the headline, ordinarily I should click the link to find out what the story is all about, but I can't be wasting my time on what Lawan says...I just graded this guy and FFK on the same pedestal. I can't waste my team reading about whatever they say.

This man is not serious at all, why do we have leaders that lack sense?

This man is as empty as they come lacking in substance......

Nigeria is ruled by terrorist sympathizers

Go and tell the families those boko haram have destroyed their lives and properties to understand, leaders in this country don't know what the masses are going through because this things are not happen to them and their families

9th Assembly 😒

Truth shall come out one day. Those behind terrorism in Nigeria. After killing several innocent souls. God shall expose everyone involved one day. He will judge everyone involved.

Am sorry for those igbo politicians that believe in one liegeria and they kill they fellow ignos

What nonsense understanding is that, Mr rubber stamp, I think this country have a law

Could those they also killed be called upon too. They must pay back to society what they took from society if not it is a matter of time. Governance will be difficult in the north. endbadgovernanceinNigeria
