President Muhammadu Buhari has said the Federal Government is ready to swap the over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls with Boko Haram leaders in detention. Addressing reporters in Nairobi, Kenya, at the weekend on the sidelines of the sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development, President Buhari said, “I have made a couple of comments on the Chibok girls and it seems to me that much of it has been politicised. What we said is that the government, which I preside over, is prepared to talk to bonafide leaders of Boko Haram. If they do not want to talk to us directly, let them pick an internationally recognised Non-Governmental Organisation, convince them that they are holding the girls and that they want Nigeria to release a number of Boko Haram leaders in detention, which they are supposed to know. If they do it through the ‘modified leadership’ of Boko Haram and they talk with an internationally recognised NGO, then Nigeria will be prepared to discuss for their release.”
