President Buhari on CNN says even his party members will not escape justice

President Muhammadu Buhari today in an interview with CNN’s Amanpour talked about what he wants the United State to do for Nigeria as it relates to the fight against Boko Haram 

“The United States and even the G7 promised to do what they can to help Nigeria so we have brought our requirements in terms of training and equipping and in intelligence gathering for Nigeria to be able to fight Boko Haram” 

The speculation that Boko Haram wants to trade some of their members in prison for the kidnapped Chibok girls, President Buhari said

 “We have to be very careful about the credibility of various Boko Haram leadership coming up and claiming that they can deliver. We have to be very careful indeed and we are taking our time because we want to bring them safe back to their parents and their school”

 Asked if he was against negotiating with Boko Haram 

“I cannot be against it because as I told you our main objective as a government is to rescue those girls back to their schools and rehabilitate them back to normal sight. If we are convinced that the leadership that presented itself can deliver those girls safe and should, we will be prepared to negotiate what they want”

 Asked if he will crack down on corrupt leaders even if they were from his party, President Buhari said

 “I just have to. There isn’t going to be any party member or personality that can escape justice”
