They also asked Buhari to give priority attention to the special economic programmes for the North East geopolitical zone which had been ravaged by the Boko Haram terrorists, just as they warned against the scrapping of the on-going amnesty programme for ex-militants in the Niger Delta region
This request was made in a communiqué issued after a two-day conference with the theme: “Security and Governance Challenges in Africa’s largest Democracy,” by the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development, SCDDD, as part of its “Nigeria Beyond 12015 Project,” in Abuja yesterday.
The communiqué was signed by Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, founder of Savannah Centre, Major General Ishola Williams, Executive Secretary, Pan-African Strategic and Peace Research Group, PAN-AFSTRAG, Justice Mohammed Uwais- chairman of the occasion and Ambassador Abdullahi Omaki, executive director of the Savannah Centre.
They also called on the Federal Government
‘’to expedite action on the compensation of victims of Boko Haram terrorism and insurgency through the established and funded Victims’ Support Fund,’’ and for urgent priority attention to the special economic programme for the North East by the incoming administration, just as they condemned ‘’the carnage, devastations and displacements, which the Boko Haram group inflicted upon many innocent Nigerians in the north east region.’’
They also called
‘’for the establishment of a special economic programme for the affected states of the North-East, focusing on rehabilitation, resettlement and reconstruction,’’ as well as on the need for ‘’the governors of the North-East States and indeed of the entire North, on the necessity for a blueprint that addresses the issues of vocational and skills-acquisition education for the youths.’’However, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, dismissed the request saying it would amount to rewarding criminals instead of punishing them for crimes against humanity.

Let d billions sunk into almajiri yield fruits b4 talk of Special Economic Zone
You are very sick for requesting amnesty for this heartless group who have killed children and their parents. Please on what ground should they be granted amnesty? This man must be a sponsor and he should be arrested and investigated.
They are crazy!!! Amnesty for what?! Killing and maiming innocent victims, destroying lives and properties?! Seriously what type of skunk did these guys smoke?! Amnesty?! Seriously?!! okay let's assume GMB agrees to it, will BH agree to it?!
Those old guys are sick in the head, how on earth do you propose an amnesty for someone who doesn't the value the life of a fellow human being. Are those people sane at all, don't try that bullshit at all. Even in sharia law, boko haram members must die because that's their punishment prescribe by Allah. I detest those old northern elders who cares for nobody but themselves and their families. To hell with whoever proposed this disgusting idea. Mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Linda post my comment Ooooo or else..........
Superugly said so...................
Insane wish.

God will surely punish these northern evil men. All of them. They used Boko Haram to win political power but God is bigger than all of them. Buhari can go ahead and grant his foot soldiers amnesty for murdering men women and children and fighting to Islamize Nigeria but God will judge Buhari and all of them. We will see it all unfold. The wicked can never go unpunished. never. And evil will never triumph over good.
Why won't they call for amnesty for BH when they've used them to achieve their goal.
They talk trash, amnesty to killers?
Na wa ooo and we want this country to move forward. I believe that's a wrong move. Our military are capable of curbing all this foolish insurgents they just need all the support they can get and boko haram will be history. Amnesty isn't the way we don't want another asari dokubo making noise up n down.
Grant amnesty to terrorist? What then happens to d thousands of lives they've taken..hmmmm
This guy most b the bigger BH.. #MallamMaiShayi
This guy most b the bigger BH.. #MallamMaiShayi
No amnesty to Boko Haram. They're killers and criminals
No amnesty to Boko Haram. They're killers and criminals. Perish that thought
No amnesty to Boko Haram. They're killers and criminals. Perish that thought
Well said dr. J. Mohammed, what an insult with what those bastard called Bh have done,some people still want amnesty for them,what a SHAME!!!
Amnesty? Hmm the sponsors are slowly coming out.
This is a huge joke! The militants did not destroy lives, boko haram has killed uncountable souls and they are talking of amnesty? Hmmmm... I think they should concentrate on beefing up security and tackle those bastards to a stand still. What amnesty to some faceless bigots? I totally disagree...
To me all dis dem elders doesn't knw de main cause of dia problems which dey all shld first focus on,which is birthrate.
Dey only knw hw 2 impregnate but no money 2 raise dem.
Many of dem Boko re in2 it bcos dey re not properly raised.
Dey shld focus on training dat dia penis 1st.

NOW I KNOW ALL THEM NORTHERN ELDERS DON DEY MAD . NA THEM BE BOKO HARAM , WHY BOKO HARAM NEVER BOMB ANY OF THEM
They have started.
WTH??? Amnesty for killing innocent people, rendering children homeless and making them orphans? Hell no! They should be purnished.
#TeamBlessed#
I feel highly irritated when Northern elders talk in this manner. Boko-haram r faceless, Now tell me, how u can grant amnesty to set of terrorist whom their grievances aren't well-stated. How do u grant amnesty to terrorist who is trying to create an Islamic caliphate out of a sovereign state (Nigeria). Comparing boko haram with Niger-delta militant is missing the point. Niger-delta militant do not engage in killing spree like boko harams. I guess those elders are part of the terrorist if checked n investigated thoroughly. The northern elders have definitely lost their thinking caps
Shoroniyen ?
Shoroniyen
Excuse me????? Say what naw??? Amnes...what?? For who???
Here we come, it is not yet over until it is over, why this statement at dis point in time. America prediction the way.
Which stupid amnesty they distroyed and killed thousand ,they will pay for the crime they committed on my people. Amnesty no way
Oh! God why pls dont allow dis to happen.after all that we passed tru to make sure that buhari emerged winner granting amnesty to boko haram is the agenda.
Amnesty 4 those blood-thirsty Bokorists
Under what grounds if l may ask
Hmm, d well planned plot slowly unravels
Not surprised. Birds of a feather
Ndi ara. U fools have gotten what you are looking for. Now this. Useless country. After all the massacre
Grant amnesty to murderers. Can you imagine? These men have never condemned Boko haram. Lord have mercy on Hausa people. Some of them have no value for human life.
U ppl are dreaming,thank God buhari. Won't listen to this crap,all they ppl they killed and displaced.U might want a quick end to this crisis but it won't come easy,BH have chosen their path and must die by the sword,nw they are seeing buhari dey want amnesty IT'S on from 29th may,no mercy
Are these guys okay? Is North the only region in Nigeria? See why I hate these selfish Northerners?
Compensating BH is a big NO for me and should never be considered by GMB considering the havoc they've inflicted on the pple of NE and these might also awaken some jobless youth in other regions. The earlier Nigeria stops the issue of amnesty, the better for her.
No, no, no!!! What kind of lifeless people are these. You were never there when he was struggling, but you now want to undermine the struggle with this trash talk.
I blame senility for your blabbing. You all belong in a hospice and that's where we will surely bundle you to.
GOD FORBIDS...........
If it's Igbo people everyone will be quick to insult but look at these beastly disgusting Hausas
Who are this elders, not surprised Kingibe is part of them. You do mot grant amnesty to terrorists. Just because Obasanjo stupidly did doesn't make it right. They should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Buhari we are all watching you.
For what course are they fighting that they should be granted amnesty. people killing people for no reason.
Granting Amnesty to Boko Haram would be an act of cowardice. Good and Evil do not work hand in hand!
Amnesty?? for why na.. After all the atrocities they've committed? Are they now trying to say that it pays to commit crime? Make them no think am ooo
Amnesty for real? This joke is way too expensive.
They don come again ndi maluu
amnesty 4 wot reason...dat wud b d highest point ov insanity.
It would amount to rewarding criminals instead of punishing them for crimes against humanity
Thank you Dr. Junaid Mohammed
Not only amnesty, na yeye dey worry all of una wey dey talk dis rubbish after what BH did to innocent people. Am sure people saying dis re the ones sponsoring BH. Very stupid request
Ubanagum
Yes! I support the north! They send their boys to cause wahala inn GEJ's government! It's time for the reward! Hehehehehe! I dey laff o!
Shoro nyen, na talk be dat by northern elders?
Thank you Dr. MOHAMMED for dismissing that request. Why offer amnesty to terrorist? The North we are looking at you all. Now the Northern elder state men are asking for amnesty for terrorist makes me wonder about their roles in tackling the insurgency.
This miserable people who call themselves Boko Haram kidnapped kids, raped them, got them pregnant and HIV positive, killed millions in gun shots attacks and bombing and they feel the best way to this is to offer them pardon for their atrocities. God will judge them all.
What the efff are they fighting for exactly? If the elder state men can answer that then we will support their stupid amnesty request...nonsense
I can't comprehend how a sane humanbeing would advocate for a sect that have killed thousands and traumatized millions to be granted amnesty... only in Nigeria!
If Buhari should heed to their request, the thunder that will fire him is supported with the ghosts and anger of the people killed and affected by their menance..
Amnesty fire....kill them all cos they don't
deserve it.
They should grant them amnesty please...most of us re here talking nonsense bcos we weren't in North nd see Wot is happening there, children,army, houses and pipo becoming homeless...if u fink u re a good Christian go to d North nd stay just for a week
Boko haram is a terrorist group You dont grant terrorists Amnesty
Let some stupid people come into ur homes, rape ur wives and little girls in year presence, then u can grant them amnesty. Stupid senseless bastards.
They are MAD!!! How many people have these bastards killed? They are terrorists and you want to grant them amnesty? They are all mad! Maybe they are the so called sponsors we've been looking for, bastards! If this happens and Nigerians allow or take it without any action then I will be convinced that all of you are fools and everything they say about Nigerians is true
Now it is getting clearer who is behind boko haram. God will expose you all. We are talking of terrorist here ,that are faceless. Nigerians we are watching as everything unfolds.
What??? Amnesty 4 BH?? Are dis people sane?? Buhari better not dream about it or else?? How dare they propose such?
When we say Boko haram is sponsored by the nothern elites to destabilize GEJ pple did not believe it. Oma se o
Okk...they've completed the assignment of making the country ungovernable for Jonathan so, give them amnesty.
Amnesty... that should be the Amnesty of Amnesia
It can't fit happen. Dey should think of something else. Linda take note!
In four years time they will deny ever making such statements, smh grant amnesty to ppl who have killed hundreds
They must be high on some cheap drugs. I cant believe anybody in their right senses would think of such. Did they see how many trekkers that sprung out after d 1st guy. Give BH amnesty and then 9ja will be finished. Dear God help Buhari againt unwise counsel anf grant him wisdom
Pls they should grant the amnesty if that is what will bring back our chibok girls
Pls they should grant them amnesty if that is what will bring peace to Nigeria. I am tired of all the killings
Amnesty for what nah?what are they fighting for biko?these old selfish fools dnt no what they are saying.
Those two idiots should be arrested with immediate effects, bcoz they are number one suspects, I believe they should know where the lead of boko is hidden
Before granting amnesty, they should negotiate properly with boko haram. Boko haram must promise not to kill anybody again and must promise to bring back the chibok girls
And all their sponsors hav started talking. Ok nah.
After all they killed? Mtcheew
Niger delta was never a terrorist group, they were fighting for a cause, they fought for there right, do u know the amount of damages the oil wells and oil company have caused to the indigenes of that area, they have no good drinking water, no fertile land for farming and always at risk of the gas flaring and poisonous smokes from the refinery.......yet the government was not ready to compensate them for all these......so they had know choice but to voice out there anger true violence, tnkGod the government understood there language...............can u tell me what bokoharam is fighting for, they had better lock up all the northern elders bcos they are they bokoharam, they are just looking for a way to fill there pocket.........Buhari had better not listen to them or he would give us the empirical evidence we have been looking for, wch crowns him the sponsor of bokoharam........enough said

Excuse me????? Say what naw??? Amnes...what?? For who???
They had better lock up all the northern elders Bcos they are the bokoharam we are talking abt.....bunch of useless old men that can make use of there brian
Una try! For what cause re they fighting for? They re d most confused terrorist group on earth cos they dnt knw their mission nd aim... atleast d militants fought for a cause tho it doesn't mk killing the innocent right but at least they had aim! Mumu people.
this is disgusting! and its disappointing that such callous n disregard for human life request is coming from d caliber of uwais co. so these guys are this tribalistic and biased? Gosh... its totally awful ! sardonic and cruel. Amnesty my foot!
Boko Haram should come out and take responsibility. How would you grant amnesty to someone whom you dont know. That is why I said they are cowards. We know people who were fighting for Niger Delta and there leaders are brave enough to come and say there grievances and they where granted amnesty.
Imagine the nonsense,that is to say na them be the Boko Haram. This Hausa guys are so mean and inhuman but you know God is above all of us and will surely Judge us all. They humiliated GEJ but they can humiliate God.
The truth shall soon come out. Whether GEJ was incompetent or the north made the country ungovernable for him. Na here i sidon dey watch. A lie can go a hundred years but it takes only a day for a truth to be realised .
At least Niger delta own worked...BH r northerners worse off Muslims...dey r doing wt dey knw best. They myt never agree.
Hahahahaha....In my opinion...dey shud just defeat bh fair n square. Nd show dem wt it means for terrorism on nigerian shores.
Thank u Mr Junaid Mohammed, for saying what is right for the people of Nigeria, once again thank u Mr Junaid mohammed, how the old foolish men be saying all that rubbish? I think those old men need to die nd I belief they are the ones behide the BH issue, nd I think they need to be investigate
Stupid old men how can you grant amnesty to a killer? Nonsense
Grant amnesty to fools burning schools in the north , impregnating Northern Nigerian females, raping girls, spreading HIV, burning Northern Nigerian homes, invading communal societies in Northern Nigeria ? These men requesting for amnesty for these imbeciles known as Boko haram must be Boko haram sponsors and or the weak people who have been in governance and make the international community describe governance in Nigeria as weak. Boko Haram's struggle is senseless, baseless and heartless and should be destroyed by Buhari with a strong message sent that people irrespective of where they come from in Nigeria are free to live in peace in Nigeria....

By granting amnesty, what msg will FG be sending to other aggrieved groups?
That's the most stupid request
EXPOSED: The Full List of Bokoharm Members and Sponsors
The Northern agenda is beginning to unfold. Yorubas should start regretting their support in the guise of APC. Northern Muslims do not see anything wrong with Bokoharam activities. What a suggestion by a elder? This is just the beginning of their .........
We've been looking for their sponsors, they are now showing up in style.Amnesty koo,compensassion and rebuilding ni.
Deres a difference bw nd militants and bokoharamists. Their causes and motivation are different o! Uwaus etc go and retire peacefully
No it is not a joke..this is d begining of what the Northwen Elders May and will want...4years tho
For which happiness. Their head nor correct at all. God punish their linlin yansh. Idiots.
How can u not ? Wen d President is their Patron ?
Yes naa, that should be expected. Boko Haram made Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan as promised and boasted by those fiends. Now that the job has been done, the boys must be compensated. Hail Nigeria! It is pay-back time!!
Grant amnesty for what?? Is that how they will keep granting amnesty to killers who don't value human lives??? They should get better equipments for the military and up their game
Are they for real!? So dis are d bunch of leaders we've bn parading. God help us. Then who will grant amnesty to ISIS n d likes. definitely they are financiers of dis insurgents.
Dis is d most crazy advise ever in d history of Nigeria "Declare amnesty for Boko Haram insurgents". Nonsense!
why would they be given amnesty? for God sake those guys are heatless,they fight for no cause and you are asking GMB to grant them amnesty ...you for ask obama to grant al queda amnesty
Grant amnesty for what?? Is that how they will keep granting amnesty to killers who don't value human lives??? They should get better equipments for the military and up their game
is just absurd..amnesty to a terror group?even talking about rehabilitation,resettlement and reconstruction..#funny....what of the igbo's during the civil war,,after the damages both mental and physical casualties are yet to receive the three "r"...not that am clouded by ethnicity but the truth is for a person or group of people suggesting this,they must be arrested and properly investigated..#my opnion
i knew this was the game plan all along...linda sacrifices have to be made to attain a certain goal. these boko haram BS was created to frustrate jonathan out of power. well, somehow their plans fell into place and now they have come up with these amnesty plan so these boys can stop their operation just because jonathan gave his niger-delta boys amnesty too. change indeed. *sigh*
-LuFi Frm TRINIDAD-
Nw we kw a few of dse boko haraam finaanciers.....bastards
Are u stupid? You surely must be stupid. Who did obasanjo grant amnesty to? The same obasanjo dt levelled odi town and killed d founder of boko haram in maiduguri.
Pls it is yaradua and your spineless jonathan you should forward ur complain to. Tribalistic faggot. About to change story to fit ur narrative. Idiot.
And this is what we are talking about, Jonathan i do not know but it was said by some Northern persons then and acted out that his government will be unbearable,if someone like Prof Gambari and Kingibe requires amnesty for Boko Haram then we must have a rethink and a retracing of our steps, Posterity will Judge. Those who criticise the Niger delta amnesty have no idea what the people of that area are going through,pls watch jeta Amata Black November and you will have a glimpse, the write up stresses on the North and no other geopolitical zone in Nig but we keep claiming we are one Nigeria, God help us
Amnesty my foot,Hell to the freaking No! Amnesty for Shekau? Do u people think he cares about ur amnesty,the only language he understands is heavy fire power,RPG,Heavy Mortar fire,Bombs and Grenades,,Fire all those on him,he will understand and conform or be consumed.Not some cheap worthless pronouncement called amnesty..
what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL NO!!
What is the meaning of these madness. Grant what to who? Let me enlighten some of you Buhari supporters (Neither am I for Jonathan), Buhari was comparing these terrorist Boko harram to Niger delta militants, please I ask (in case I'm wrong) is there not a significant difference between the two. Some leaders in the north ( including Buhari) have been saying Lt Yaradua gave Niger Delta militants amnesty and Jonathan failed to give Boko haram theirs. Boko haram don't deserve jail terms let alone talk of amnesty, must we be reminded that they have taken ten of thousands lives, made millions homeless, kidnapped children, women and men. Destroyed lands, property, displaced family members, destroyed their own land.....in the name of what, with no just reason. Now these Boko harram sponsors are pushing for amnesty, Buhari is not yet in power and see what they are requesting. These is why Jonathan started extra force of Boko harram, (what he should have done since), and yes Jonathan knew he won't win the election. Please my fellow Patriots, we can't always be quiet and let men from the past rule the future of Nigeria. We must stand as one, and talk when there needs be against these so called amnesty to the evil men called Boko haram, lives that cannot be given back has been lost, and they should face what the did, justice for the lives of those taken. May all those that lost their lives to Boko haram rest in peace. Amen
Martin
Let them arrest the person or persons that said this. They are possibly their sponsors.
Little by little we shall see d head opf BH and I will not be suprise that is no one else but our leader. God send down ur fire to distroy everyone dIstroying dis country in Jesus Name Amen
So u are one of those that made sure Buhari emerged winner?

Make wuna try dis rubbish and see...u wll be begging niger deltans for asylum..heartless people

Where is Bonario Buhari's mouthpiece and APC's houseboy? Sure u'll pretend like u didn't see dis post....Amnesty to Boko Haram on what grounds? gradually the sponsors of Boko Haram have started coming showing their faces..I'll just watch and see how all these unfolds...
Foolish northern leaders mad ppl with no human conscience
You can make your statement without resulting to insults. And I am Yoruba and not tribalistic. Make your point like an adult or return to primary school for retraining.
dis pple ehhhhhhh. God punish satan

many of these guys are bokoharam sympathizers but our yoruba brothers refused to understand.
