Former Head of State and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari has dismissed reports that he will be involved in negotiating a truce between the federal government and the Boko Haram sect.
The CPC leader made this known, while speaking at the party’s Board of Trustee (BOT) meeting in Abuja, on Wednesday.
The retired military general , who was named by the sect ahead of negotiations on ceasefire with the federal government, stated that he could not represent people he does not know nor does he believe in their cause.
He also assured Nigerians that opposition parties in the country will work together to defeat the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the coming presidential election.
The dreaded Islamic sect had nominated the retired military general with other northern elders to represent the federal government in the proposed talks to end the insurgency in the northern part of the country.
