Former Head of State, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari, has been advised by his party, the Congress for Progressive Change, to reject his nomination by dreaded sect, Boko Haram, to negotiate on its behalf with the Federal Government.
The position of the party was made known on Tuesday in Abuja by its National Chairman, Prince Tony Momoh, who told Buhari, the CPC’s presidential candidate in the 2011 election, not to consider the proposal by Boko Haram.
Momoh said: “There is no need for any other person to attend a meeting between the Federal Government and Boko Haram for whatever grievances they say they have.
“We in the CPC do not see where Buhari comes in.
“We are concerned by the way the name of General Buhari is being dragged into this affair.
“Another thing is that nobody reached out to General Buhari to say they have been nominated or is being nominated along with others to mediate or be witnesses to discussion between Boko Haram and the Federal Government.”
Momoh was also quick to add that Buhari has not even told anyone he was interested in the discussion with the Federal Government on behalf of Boko Haram.
