With less than three weeks to the deadline given by the Nigerian Presidency to end Boko Haram insurgency, clerics representing the two major religions in the country, (Islam and Christianity) have expressed their thoughts about the expiring date, saying deadlines are not helpful anywhere in the world to fight insurgency.
This was in a recent meeting between the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Muhammad Nuru Khalid and the Anglican Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh.
The clerics called for a review of approaches as according to them, it is obvious the end to the fight against terrorism still has a long way to go.
Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, said that the idea of developing a code of conduct for religious leaders should be treated with caution, adding that the message of peace should transcend mere talk to the people in the troubled north.
