Former presidential candidate says FG needs Igboho, Kanu, others
Legit.ng had previously reported that Kingsley Moghalu, a former presidential candidate, called on the federal government to convene a round table talk with secessionists and all political agitators in Nigeria.
Moghalu, on Wednesday, June 2, noted that it was wrong and rather dangerous for the government to describe such persons as terrorists.
The southeast politician suggested that the best way forward at such a tensive time is a dialogue between the leadership and the agitating regions.
Criminals will be brought to book
Meanwhile, following the incessant kidnappings and killings of innocent Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that every criminal element that has taken up arms against the peace of the country would be brought to book.
Buhari also assured that as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, no effort would be spared in tackling every form of insecurity confronting Nigeria.
