Insecurity: Obasanjo, Gumi, Apportion Blames, Proffer Solutions by iampeterben(m): 8:44am On Apr 05, 2021
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Sheikh Ahmad Gumi have recommended solutions to the security challenges facing the nation.

DAILY POST reports that Gumi, who has been negotiating with bandits in the North, visited Obasanjo on Sunday with a delegation of eight persons.

They are: Prof. Usman Yusuf, Mallam Tukur Mamu, Dr. Umar Ardo, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, Honourable Suleiman Gumi, Alhaji Suleiman Yakubu and Mallam Buba Mohammed.

Chief Obasanjo received Sheikh Gumi and his delegation in the presence of Oba Babajide Bakre, Agura of Gbagura, Abeokuta; Bishop Tunde Akin-Akinsanya, Chairman of Ogun State Christian Association of Nigeria; Sheikh Sa’addallah Alade Bamigbola, Chief Imam of Egbaland; Chief Kenny Martins, Chief Ola Babajide Jaiyeoba; Rev. Tony Ojeshina, Chief Imams of Oke-Ona, Gbagura, Owu and Mr. Vitalis Ortese.

At the meeting, Gumi briefed Obasanjo and his delegation on the steps he had taken and spearheaded to stem the tide of insecurity and menace of banditry, kidnapping and ransom payment in many parts of the North.

In a statement jointly signed by Obasanjo and Gumi, it was mentioned that banditry, kidnapping and other crimes were a nationwide phenomenon, adding that people from different parts of the country and outside the country wwre involved, with some people being more predominantly involved than others.

In their recommendations, it was advised that no one should encourage or support criminality advertently or inadvertently.

“We acknowledge that the security situation has gone beyond tolerance, hence Sheik Gumi’s coming to Abeokuta to confer with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

“We identified the crisis as micro ethnic conflict between the Fulani and many host communities mainly in the North West.

“We identified the remote causes as educational and economic disparities, and the negative use of religion and ethnicity by unscrupulous politicians.

“Solutions must be seen and provided on short-medium-and long-term bases and must be composed of stick and carrot for the offender and the vulnerable,” the statement added.

It was recommended that all well-meaning Nigerians have to be involved in finding solutions by desisting from blame game, desisting from ethnicising, religionising and regionalising those crimes.

Nigerians were also advised to respect one another individually, community-wise, locally, ethnically, religiously and socially.

The statement read further that, “State governments must have adequate means of providing security for their people and as chief executives and chief security officers of their states, they must have the means at their disposal to ensure security for all within their states.

“Federal government must be proactive, secure necessary and updated intelligence to deal with organised crimes and have common policy for the nation. It is not solving the problem when one state goes for negotiation and molly-cuddling of criminals and another one goes for shooting them. Nor should one state go for ransom payment and another one going against.

“Education is one main key to solve the problem in the long run but it must start now. The 14 million children that should be in school and are out of school must be put in school with local authorities, state governments and federal government working together.

“Wean those who are ready to be weaned out of the bushes and crime, settle and rehabilitate them, give them skills, empower them and let them have employment.

“The hardened criminals must be hard hit with stick. Unlawful carrying of arms should be very seriously punished.

“Federal government should take the issue up seriously within ECOWAS to work for a regional solution.

“Every community must be encouraged and empowered to stand firm and strong against criminals.

“Special courts should be created to deal promptly with cases of banditry, kidnapping, ransom demanding and unlawful carrying of weapons.”

. It is becoming clearer to the north that the zoo is breaking into fragments in no time . This is just a damage control tactics . GEJ did all these for the north , what was the result? it is better to separate animals from human being (They claimed they reason like their cows while we reason like human being , the difference is clear ). Biafra & Oduduwa nations is the only viable solution . The people that signed the amalgamation of this country knew it was out of deceit, that was why 100 yrs clause was added to it . It is better to renegotiate the union and allow any unwilling region to go their separate ways ! Then there won't be government covers for the criminals because they will be seen as foreigners and dealt with without mercy

Why are ESN members not given the same treatment .
The no of bokoharam members that were rehabilitated, what result did it yield .
Where is Evans today ? Is it not the same kidnapping offence he committed? We should let the north know that they are not smarter than the rest region , they only use state security apparatus and politics of selfishness to shield their criminals while allowing more perpetuation of evil
