On Sunday, Lai Mohammed, minister
of information, said the federal government had been in “wider
cessation-of-hostility” talks with the insurgents.
He said the ceasefire talks
secured the release of the 113 students and pupils kidnapped from Dapchi, Borno
state, as well as the police officers’ wives and the University of Maiduguri
lecturers also abducted by Boko Haram.
Writing via his Twitter handle on
Monday, Fayose wondered why the government would discuss ceasefire with the
insurgents, despite claims that the group has been defeated.
Fayose said Mohammed’s statement
shows “someone is obviously lying to Nigerians”.
“How can you discuss ceasefire with
the same Boko Haram you claimed to have defeated and decimated?” he wrote.
