Falae, who spoke with reporters in Akure, the Ondo State capital, said granting amnesty to people whose identities remain unknown is ludicrous.
He explained that the whole idea would be irrational if the beneficiaries of the planned amnesty have not shown any sign of remorse to end hostilities.
Falae, a former Finance Minister and Secretary to the Government of the Federatio(SGF), urged Northern leaders promoting amnesty for members of the sect to state reasons for the proposition.
According to him: “Amnesty is granted to people who have shown remorse. In fact, we don’t know people the Northern monarchs are asking the federal government to grant amnesty.
“What are the grievances of the members of the Boko Haram sect? Until we know their grievances, we don’t know whether it has been addressed? We don’t know if granting amnesty will finally put an end to the violence.
“I have no problem granting amnesty to members of the Boko Haram but the amnesty must be able to bring about the desired peace in the Northern part of the country. In the present situation, it will be a misplaced priority,” Falae said.
