Former governor of Zamfara State, Ahmad Yerima has suggested that President Bola Tinubu should first engage the use of dialogue with bandits rather than military force, as the best way to address the insecurity challenge to resolve insurgency in the country.

Yerima gave the suggestion today while speaking with State House correspondents after a courtesy visit to the president.

Senator Yerima who said the immediate past government failed in negotiating with the bandits, was of the opinion that if the Federal Government wades in, and begins negotiation with the bandits, the country will record advanced progress like was experienced with the Niger Delta militants.

He further highlighted the success of late President Musa Yar’Adua’s negotiations with militants in the Niger Delta region in 2007, arguing that the feat is a precedent for peaceful resolution.

The Senator who underpinned that the challenges of banditry is further exacerbated by the growing poverty and illiteracy in the region, stated that he is not making a case for bandits but maintained that the Federal Government can wield resources and political will to activate negotiation with the repentant ones.

Senator Yerima also stated that the president should intervene in the power play crisis between the incumbent Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State and his predecessor, Bello Matawalle.

I don't even understand how some people think. The country is feeding you with allocation while you don't contribute much to the nation yet you pick up arms to disturb the peace of the nation but want to be paid for disturbing the peace of the nation? Should everyone now pick up arms to disturb the Nation?

Wetin concern Tinubu with repentance of bandit

Ok

Insecurity can never be a thing of the past if we keep negotiating with terrorists. A country where a group of people can just take up arms to kill and maim thousands of people, amass stupendous wealth, then lay down their arms and ask for amnesty.

Negotiate what exactly?

Somebody should tell him to shut up

You see how they stay

Everyone asking the president to negotiate with their regional terrorists. Eastern leaders too are asking Tinubu to negotiate with Kanu and his Igbos terrorist gang.
It will not be well with Yerima and all the illiterate bandits terrorizing innocent people, and all the leaders asking the president to negotiate with terrorists

The same man that brought sharia that later turned to boko haram

Someone should get needle to seal the man's mouth!! They think this is fulani era that all manner of such rubbish was going on....
BAT should not do any repentant nonsense, u are caught, u face d music!

This Oloriburuku people with no conscience have come again. Negotiate with who? Death to the bandits. They have murdered thousands in cold blood. Travelers, traders, farmers, students, law enforcement have all been dispatched in the most cruel form. Poor people were brutally murdered when not able to pay ransom demanded. I say again, death to them.
The poverty and illiteracy in the North was caused by decades of neglect by Northern elites who considered it a cultural and religious advantage to keep their people impoverished and uneducated.
The agitations in the SS started out well because it was a response to environmental degradation and poverty due to the neglect of federal government and international oil companies. Even Col Almustapha confirmed that the degradation was deliberate. The militants never murdered anyone. They restricted their kidnapping operations to expatriates. So there is no basis of comparison between the Militants and these bloodthirsty terrorists. These Fulani killers! Tinubu should clamp down with vengeance on them.
The Northern oligarchs are planning something. They don't speak or act in isolation. That Yẹrima goat is their spokesperson. May God give Tinubu the deep wisdom to tackle and disarm them. Bloody demons.

What will happen to the thousands of people they deliberately killed, maimed, displaced, rendered homeless, hopeless and who loss their source of livelihood? Those ones will just be apologize to and while they are being given presidential treatments. No peace for the wicked, they will reap what they sow in full time.

Nonsense talk. You have to bring NK and SE into this

YERIMA IS SHARIA. SHETTIMA AND RIBADU SHOULD DISCUSS WITH YERIMA AND REPORT ON HIS SENSE OF REASONING. THE SHARIA POLITICIANS HAVE INSATIABLE DESIRE FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING.

You took it right out of my mouth
These men have soft spot for the oppressor and nothing for the victim.
There is no reason for Nigeria nation to accept and bandit repentant or not. If so all criminal should come out and say he or she has repented and walk freely.

People like Yerima has no place in leadership, he never mentioned families and future generations destroyed by some reckless politically and religiously motivated individuals. Yet quick to recommend soft landing for the oppressor.. or is he one of them?

What has been the effects of previous negotiation that the satanic Buhari government did with them? More terrorism and drenching of the economic purse of this troubled nation courtesy of your kind because it is a politico-religious domination and source of bleeding the Nigerian state from a revenue source your region contributes nothing too.

This Sanni Yerima was the same fool who introduced the Sharia legal system that the likes of Bandits and BH terrorists based their political cash out from the Nigerian state.

No amnesty or negotiation with bandits and their sponsors. Na bomb and bullets una go receive las las

Way to go. "Widows of slain military officers and soldiers particularly those fighting the war against terrorism have protested the continuous release of murderous Boko Haram terrorists on the grounds that they have repented but....wants them punished like other criminals

The Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre and the Chairman of the Transition Monitoring Group, Auwal Rafsanjani said that "the priority should be the victims, not the terrorists.

They are the ones who need counselling, reconciliation, sympathy and support, which, unfortunately, the Nigerian government has refused to focus on. The government is pampering these terrorists, who have committed atrocities against innocent people – women, men and children.
