According to Ibegbu: "Buhari does not want to sit and talk to agitators. A good leader will call those with grievances for discussion. Instead of using the police and army to fight your home citizens and killing them, call them to a round table discussion.

"Buhari should call Nnamdi Kanu saying look "you are my son what is your problem? Can't we build a better Nigeria? How do you want Biafra?' Kanu will say, "father, this is how I want Biafra' and Buhari will say no, let's have a round table discussion to solve this problem.'
"Let me tell you, if Buhari does this, Nnamdi Kanu will see him as a father that cares for his son and would stop all these things. Then he will meet with El-Zakzaky's people, telling them, 'I know you want an Islamic state but it's not possible in a nation like Nigeria. However, you can have your religious freedom, and I will release your leader. You will see that El-Zakzaky and his men will calm down.'
"Then Buhari will come to Boko Haram, telling them 'look, we can't have an Islamic state in amercenariesic group, I can give you amnesty'.
"If they refuse and opt to continue fighting, then he should invite mercenaries to crush them.ÔÇØ
