Action Congress of Nigeria National leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has urged the Federal Government to compensate victims of Boko Haram violence.
Tinubu also cautioned that the Federal Government planned amnesty for members of the sect should not be a blanket one.
The targets of such an initiative, the former Lagos State governor said, should be those fighting because of injustice done to them.
He spoke in Ado Ekiti on Friday while condoling with Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State over the death of his deputy, Mrs. Funmilayo Olayinka.
The ACN leader, in company with the party’s National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande; Ekiti State House of Assembly Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, and Senator Babafemi Ojudu during the visit, said there was the need to improve on the country’s security.
Noting that no amount of money could bring back a dead person, he said the victims and their families deserved compensation to mitigate their grief and to demonstrate that the government cared about them.
Tinubu said, “Any government, which cannot guarantee peace and security in its domain is a failure.
