In an interview with Kaduna's Radio Liberty in November 2012, demand that the Federal Government should stop the clampdown of Boko Haram insurgents. Insist they should be given golden handshakes and special treatment like the Niger Delta militants.
Say this: "They (the Niger Delta militants) were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished. They are different issues. What brought this? It is injustice."
Make a statement saying you don't believe there is a real movement called Boko Haram. Claim instead that the federal government of Nigeria is: "the biggest Boko Haram."
When the federal government declares a state of emergency in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, given the activities of the insurgents in those states, come out against it.
Tell rebel PDP governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso at Kano Government House in 2013 that the Boko Haram is a "strategic plan" by the government of Goodluck Jonathan to "destroy the North." Declare, therefore, that the war of the federal government against the Boko Haram is an excuse to wage war on the North.
Be so clearly identified as an advocate of the Boko Haram that, in November 2012, Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulaziz, the second-in-command to Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in announcing a readiness to negotiate a ceasefire with the Nigerian government, names you as one of the few "trusted" Nigerians it would be ready to negotiate with.
