The General Officer Commanding
the 7 Division, Major General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu, has said that an ex-Boko
Haram fighter, who has surrendered his arms, stands a chance of becoming
President of Nigeria.
Biu stated this while calling on
Boko Haram fighters to surrender their arms.
During an interview with
journalists in Maiduguri on Sunday, the Major General urged the militants to
have a rethink and be patriotic Nigerians by laying down their arms.
He pointed out that they stood to
gain a lot if they surrendered, including opportunities to take up leadership
positions in the country
He said, “Boko Haram should lay
their arms unconditionally and be accepted. Opportunities are out there for
them, they can be rehabilitated.
“An ex Boko Haram having laid his
arms and turned away from his negativity, stands to be a president of this
country; he stands to aspire to any position in this country.
“Why is he wasting his time when
he cannot even deliver?
“As a professional soldier we
would continue to do what we know best and that is to project our determined
effort, we would not be distracted by some of the activities of our detractors
and some of the collaborators.
“Nigeria deserves peace,
Northeast deserves peace and the people of Borno deserve peace because it is
only when there is peace there will be development.”
