The sponsor of the bill that seeks to establish an agency for the rehabilitation of repentant Boko Haram members, Ibrahim Gaidam, has explained why he introduced the bill in the Senate.

The introduction of the bill has attracted outrage from many Nigerians.

“The agency when established will help rehabilitate and reintegrate the defectors, repentant and forcefully conscripted members of the insurgent group Boko Haram to make them useful members of the society and provide an avenue for reconciliation and promote national security,” he said.

“In view of the fact that the Boko Haram insurgency is becoming increasingly aggressive since its inception in 2009, marked by extreme brutality and explicit targeting of civilians…it has become necessary for us to go back to the drawing board and adopt an alternative approach, in addition to the military option which has so far performed significantly well.

Mr senator, why didn't you sponsored bill to establish agency for internally displaced persons as a result of Boko Haram.

Without a thought for the victims of the wicked actions of Boko Haram, you are a sponsor.

Bill to establish an agency for the widows and children of the Nigerian soldiers who scarifies their lives fighting the insurgency would have been better

How corrupt can one get, they keep increasing the bar

Your basis has no meaning with our group because we are strictly for humanity and will never support anyone that takes away human lives . No forgiveness , forgiveness can only come from the Creator

Think twice Mr Senator, a state you can't control as a Government then.

People like you are not meant to be in the upper chamber. I would have loved to see a bill to Carter for the families that were destroyed by Boko Haram.

Why special treatment?Are there no systems already responsible for apprehension of criminals - prosecution - jail time / rehabilitation as well as integration back into the society were their skills will be best utilised?Why divert resources to cater for what has bn catered for?

There is nothing like repentant Boko-Haram terrorists. Their membership is based upon an ideology that's culturally and politically rooted with sympathisers in the highest echelons of Nigeria's government. Of course, these 'repentant' ones aren't brainwashed. Were they?

Oponu U are one their sponsors mtchew

What about bill for children out of school in the north? Dunce

If justice always prevail in this nation,how on earth does a legislature knows that 'boko haram are ready to lay down their weapons not knowing what their constituency needed.

You didn't even sponsor a bill to establish an agency for the families affected by Boko Haram. But you deemed it fit to sponsor a bill for the 'repentant' BH. Your wickedness is gut wrenching 😒

Member

Can't even bother to read this

Borno prayers have started manifesting...all BH sponsors shall be exposed.

Get out here old man

‘This man should be arrested with immediate effect For God sake this country is turning into a ZOO

Ewu..

In a country where d constitution states it clear dat its citizens must be protected & u took oath of office. Look at how u bypassed law & order of a sane society & presented dis deadly bill. U were a gov; wat did u do with security votes. Value of Nigerians is now Politics!

Ask the 'yahoo' whether he bothers care about the welfare of the troops securing day and night the country which they all benefit from. Demikiwala militaryblower

There is no reason

This agency you are proposing, who will fund it? How MUCH does the entire north east contribute to the national treasury? You want to milk others to sustain vagabonds and criminals.

You should be arrested and investigated thoroughly... First BH supporter like you claimed that Boko harem members are not Nigerians, So does it mean that we are building rehab Centers for Foreigners that came to attack us in our own country? With whose Taxes?

Bereft of ideas

These are the main boko haram terrorists...

This dullards speak English they seriously don't understand how does integrating supposed repentant boko boys bring about national unity? Are these the set of people that decide the fate of a nation sooo sad right now.

Repentant Boko Haram? What does that mean?

And here comes a senator in my country trying to justify his stupidity and lack of sense!

His perfidious heart is unable to spare a thought for the helpless victims in IDP camps save for the gruesome murderers.😎

You have exposed yourself as one of their Patrons. Waiting for the disposition of other Senators on your evil plan.

Please there should be Agency for repentant kidnappers and criminals in the prison, after the Agency for repentant boko haram, there should be Agency them,You are part of Nigeria problem, how I wish your family is a victim and then you continue with the bill. Stupidity on display

No reason is good enough, Mr Senator!

Shame on you

This bunch should be arrested ,investigated, and jailed because it's very obvious he is an affiliate of BH probably their representative in government.

Please what's the senator's Twitter handle? He should be arrested. Nonsense upon ingredients

Mumu senator

Looking for boko haram sponsor? Go no further☝️ UN UNHumanRights realDonaldTrump UKinNigeria 10DowningStreet ICC

Even the President mentioned this in his recent visit to Maiduguri, the Local should stop supporting BH. As a political leader in Yobe u should speak as a leader not as foreigner. What Gov Zulum is now doin supposed to done U and your Co previously. I doubt were u belong Sir

What do you expect from a criminally minded soul?

What about the Almajiris? Stupid man!

Since you are a sympathizer unko. I only pity southern soldiers who died for a quarrel between family members

You sponsor the bill because you and your children are bokoharam members.👌

You want to compensate those you & others created to aid your various election riggings. Now no more free Cash to Sustain them so Nigeria should takeover your likes creation responsibility. You all will be exposed someday.

You are a bokoharam apologist

Giedam didn't raise hope for children rotten away in IDP camps, didn't raise hope for the children of the slain soldiers & their widows but he wants an agency dedicated to the murderers. Shettima made Chibok principal a commissioner after abduction discas2001 KashimSM MBuhari

No reason

Use the resources to recruit more people into the military. Use the resources to train your youths in skill acquisition. Use the resources to rehabilitate victims of bh. Ask the US what happened to freed terrorists. You're their sponsor.

Why not sponsor bill to take care of the widows and parents of soldiers that died in the war against Boko Haram Sense is far from u Mr. Sinator abi bokonator!!!

Nobody cares about your why?

Wat about the north East development commission

So youths have to pass through Boko Haram to benefit from the funds that will be released

You didn't think of Bill for Idps but BH,

He's one of the patrons of BH

He should be arrested for life, again, he should have the backing of the so-called president to put such a bill before the house.

Senator you want repentanted Boko haram to enter main stream politics to rule our dear country abi.

Oloriburuku Senator

Bill to establish an agency for the almajiris skipped ur mind abi? 🤡 , that what you’re.

The guy should just go and sit down.

Has he seen the videos where BH members slaughter innocent people? I think this guy should be investigated 🙄, he's explanations are senseless.

All these old nitwits are behind the Boko Haram insurgency itself.

Have some decency, shame, get off the news dude. You did not make any sense with your bill.

Bill to establish an agency for the almajiris would have been better, Sir.

All I read was rubbish..bias country .lets do same for the criminals in prisons “Repentant criminals

A replica of Niger delta but his sense didn't tell him that we are dealing with Terrorist here. Politics of envy and greediness.

Yhu should be arrested .....you have no 'why'
