Buba Galadima, a former leader of the
defunct Congress for Progressive Change,
CPC, has alleged that some government
officials would want banditry to continue.
Galadima said some of the officials want
banditry to continue due to the economic
gains they derive from the criminal act.
In a chat with DAILY POST, the estranged
political associate of Buhari also
maintained that the Federal Government
was unwilling to confront the menace of
banditry in some parts of the country.
According to Galadima: “The Federal
Government itself does not want to fight
this war against bandits, so if their
posture of not trying to fight this war to a
logical conclusion suggests that they are
part of the system, then I concur.
“I feel there are a lot of people in
government who really do not want this
fight to end because of the economic value
to them just like the Katsina governor had
said.”
The elder statesman also berated those
rubbishing Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad
Gumi for interacting with bandits.
Stressing that Gumi was only filling a
vacuum left by the Federal Government,
Galadima stated that those against the
cleric’s interaction with bandits are
unpatriotic Nigerians.
He said: “Those saying Gumi’s interaction
with bandits is treason are unpatriotic
Nigerians. What Gumi has done is that he
has tried to fill a vacuum created by those
in authority and this is why concerned
citizens are taking it upon themselves to
see what they can do to bring about a
solution.
“There is nowhere in the world that this
should be treasonable. Gumi is not going
there to encourage them into violence but
to see things from their perspective, what
led them into such and then interface in
bringing about solutions. Because Gumi is
the one doing this, some people in
authority don’t like his face.
“This will not be the first time that an
authority would hold talks with people
who have taken arms against the state.
Didn’t we negotiate with Biafra even after
the war? Didn’t we negotiate with the
restive Niger Delta youths? Didn’t we talk
to OPC? So what is good for the goose is
also good for the gander.
“Please, we should build Nigeria; if it takes
Gumi and others to talk to these bandits to
drop their arms so that some of us can
travel from Abuja to Kaduna without fear,
let it be. Gumi is doing what I cannot do; if
I’m in the position to talk to them, I will.”
He also suggested that the Federal
Government should negotiate with bandits
as a way of resolving the menace.
“If the Federal Government cannot defeat
them in war, why can’t it negotiate with
them? The federal government has shown
that they are incapable of defeating these
bandits or Boko Haram.
“So, as an ordinary citizen, what will you
suggest? You people have the adage that if
you can’t beat them, join them. I don’t
think the government is willing to settle
this issue because some people among
them enjoy it or gain from it, so they can
never sort it out. The only thing is for all of
us to come out and chase them out of
power, then find another group,” he said. |
