Boko Haram a creation of the ruling PDP – CPC

Nobel  Laureate Prof  Wole Soyinka said Friday that trying to end a deadly insurgency by Islamist extremist group Boko Haram through dialogue would amount to “abysmal appeasement.”
Soyinka spoke just as the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, again yesterday, asked the Presidency and the People’s Democratic Party, PDP  to find a way of tackling rising terrorism being visited on the land by the Boko Haram sect and stop linking the former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, with it.
CPC maintained that Boko Haram was a creation of the ruling PDP.
President Goodluck Jonathan earlier this year encouraged the Islamists, blamed for hundreds of deaths since 2009, to publicly state their demands, and his government has confirmed that “back-channel” talks with the group are ongoing.“When I say, ‘don’t talk to murderers,’ that is exactly what I mean,” Soyinka told foreign media at an international conference in Lagos.“Don’t talk to mass murderers.
