The Federal Government has set up a panel to work out modalities for the implementation of the recommendations of the Presidential Committee on  Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North, NaijaSharpNews sources have reported.

Vice-President Namadi Sambo disclosed this on Saturday at the first annual conference of the Ahlus-sunnah of Nigeria organised by the Izalatul Bid'a wa Ikamatus-Sunnah at the Tafawa Balewa Square,  Lagos.

According to a statement by his spokesman, Umar Sani,  the Vice-President represented President Goodluck Jonathan at the event, which was
 attended by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal; former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari; Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad  Abubakar; a representative of  President Muhammadou Yousufou of Niger Republic as well as Kaduna and Osun state governors, among others. NaijaSharpNews quotes Sambo as saying-

'A committee has been set up to proceed with the implementation of the recommendations of the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Conflict
 Resolution of Security Challenges in the North'.

The committee led by the Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Turaki, had submitted its report to Jonathan on November 5, 2013.

The Vice-President said the government was committed to intra and inter-faith dialogues and consultations as the only alternative to
 conflict resolution, mutual tolerance, understanding, love and harmony.

He said the conference with the theme, 'Peace and Unity for Sustainable Development' came at the appropriate time', especially in the face of
 insurrections masquerading as religious agitations.

'It is obvious that there can never be any meaningful development in the absence of peace and unity,' Sambo reportedly said.

As a country with a large percentage of Muslims, he charged the Muslim Ummah to strive to be role models.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar, in his remarks, lamented that Nigeria was passing through trying times.

Politicians, not the common man, he argued, were responsible for the crisis.

While calling for justice in the country, Abubakar implored leaders to create a  peaceful and conducive atmosphere for all Nigerians to
 practise their religion.

How the hell can you give amnesty to someone you don't know. BOKO HARAM are winning in their game, This FG is useless .. All FG has to do is to tighten the security and enforce the military to tackle BOKO HARAM. Sooner or later they will spread into more states.

Seems going the Bad way is the best way in this country.

Amnesty for what?
You're spending funds on soul-less,wicked and irresponsible groups.
While the innocent and responsible wallow in desolation, deprivation and penury.

May the wrath of God fall upon all of you.

just take a look at how this people are messing this country up and after they will tell us that they are combating crime and corruption when a bus driver with a torn motor particulars will be arrested and detained in cell for no just cause. Somebody like Mr. Or should i say Mrs. President of this country can not bold and honest enough to do justice and at the right time...
As an educated man he is, he should know that granting these souless animals called Boko Haram an amnesty is like bringing a big into your home, bath it and expect it not to back to dirts, this is just to congratulate them on the countless crimes they have commited and thereby giving them a go ahead order. It's painful!
Granting amnesty on the counless of thousand of people they have killed or for the destruction of public and private properties? What about the Dec. 26- 2013 killing and other assorted crimes by these terrorists?
Maybe he did it for his next presidential campaign and fail to notice that that is no amount of amnesty granted these criminals, terrorists, felons and destroyers to make them change their blind believe which is: 'kill and go to heaven or get killed and go to heaven'
FG bear in mind that this water that is still at it's manageable proportion and you did nothing to about it because it hasn't come to affecting you, a time will come when water will turn to an ocean for this country then both the big and small, powerful and weak people of this nationwill have thier share of it...
