,Reuben Abati said the President never agreed to the term amnesty. He said “In that speech, if you look at it, I don’t think the President used amnesty, instead he said about those who are willing to resign their terror act, that opportunities have been granted to them through the fact- finding committee, through the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolutions of Conflict in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.
