Nigeria president Buhari
appeared on an interview panel on the 30th of December 2015 which
consisted of Kayode Akintemi, Channels TV; Dr. Ngozi Anyaegbulam, Media World
International; Munir Dan Ali, Daily Trust and Ibanga Isine, Premium Times as he
answered to questions thrown at him.
“I don’t think I tolerate
corruption, I don’t think I picked anybody that I know will embarrass my
government. But if you have any evidence about any of my ministers, I accept
responsibility for the 36 ministers that I have.
“I don’t think I took
anybody among the ministers who has got a case in court. Tell me one out of the
36. I don’t think I will deliberately make that mistake.”
Asked if he would sack any
of the ministers if he or she is charged to court for corruption, he said:
“No, I will insist that the
case go through the courts.”
On the location and
condition of the Chibok girls, he said he would be prepared to negotiate with
credible elements in the Boko Haram leadership if there is precise intelligence
that could help return the girls to their parents. He, however, affirmed that
presently he did not superior intelligence on the fate of the girls.
“We are still keeping our
options open. If a credible leadership of Boko Haram can be established and
they tell us where those girls are, we are prepared to negotiate with them
without any pre-condition. This we have made absolutely clear. But while they
are keeping the Chibok girls, they must not get away with the idea that we will
not attempt to secure the rest of Nigeria.
“We have no firm
intelligence on where they are physically and what condition they are in. But
what we believe from our intelligence, they keep taking the girls around, they
are not keeping all the girls in one place, we don’t know how many divisions
they made of them and where they are.
