He said
the federal government was not negotiating with Boko Haram contrary to
opinions, but was only finding ways to change the orientation of the
members of the Boko Haram sect.
“We are not negotiating with Boko Haram. It is done all over the world. It is not negotiation. We are not begging.
“Our
security architecture was first designed to deal with ordinary criminals
but since terror started, we have been building it. I believe if you
are to interview me again in three months’ time, you will praise me that
this government has tried.
“We are
tackling terror from various angles. We must first of all stop them
through military intervention, which we have initiated by declaring a
state of emergency in three states where these terror attacks are
predominant,” President Jonathan said.
