Nigerians React As Obi Gives Conditions To Make Deal With Bandits by Pakute(op): 6:46pm On Jun 17

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed his readiness to dialogue with bandits and other violent groups in the country on the condition that they abandon criminality, should he be elected in the 2027 general elections.

Obi, who ran for the presidency on the platform of the Labour Party, vowed that his administration would deploy force against bandits and other criminal groups who remain committed to violence should he have his way in 2027.

The former governor of Anambra made the comment while speaking in an interview on BlackBox with Rufai Oseni. He then highlighted his "approach to restoring security and national cohesion in the country” if elected.

He insisted that the lasting peace would be about engaging individuals and groups who were willing to engage in reconciliation and contribute positively to building the country.

Obi also stressed that Nigeria should be able to create the pathways for the rehabilitation and reintegration of individuals who genuinely renounce the act and show their readiness to change.

NIGERIANS REACT AS Obi SPEAKS ON ENGAGING BANDITS

However, the news has started generating mixed reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their comments:

Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar said that Obi was only overzealous:

"Peter Obi should be reminded that bandits do not have PVCs if he is saying this to win them over. His desperation to be in power defies common sense. Whoever promises to negotiate with terrorists must be seen by Nigerians as a threat to their lives and social well-being, especially Northerners, who have suffered from insecurity for years. Nigerians must reject Peter Obi in 2027."

Rheedwhan said it was not sure Obi understands the presidency:

"Until they kidnap you and k-i-ll you, I doubt this man understands what it takes to be president; he just sits somewhere and imagines life, imagination wan k-i-ll am."

Organised Thoughts said Obi only appealed to people's emotions:

"Tinubu's not the real threat to our democracy; Obi is. Because he deeply talks about the emotions of our young, innocent people. He's a terrible time bomb. Ordinarily, this guy will make a good VP, where he will learn so much and later be promoted. But see him messing up things!"

Prince Uthman posited that Obi speaks more on assumption:

"The more people speak, the more they reveal the content of their personality. Sometimes, it's better to be judged by assumption than by reality, as they say."

So what exactly does he plan to do differently...?

This one he is planning to negotiate with terrorists and reintegrate them to society and probably join the military.

What is obi actually bringing to the table that is different?

There is nothing one can not say if one is desperate to get something.

Two of the requests tendered by the bandits is having saharia in all the states in Nigeria and Islam should be the religion of everyone. How are you going to negotiate that?
Does Obi want to give the bandits part of the southern land in exchange for peace.
This guy obviously thinks with one of the body parts below his neck region.

Tinubu’s strategy to tell Nigerians what makes him fit for reelection is to talk about Peter Obi 24/7 through his supporters, because he has nothing to campaign with.

Meanwhile this is what Tinubu has to say about insecurity

He's brutal you said, which is what Nigerians want and would like to hear. But this Obi whom you people say is the smartest person from the East chose instead to say he'd handle them with kid gloves. I then ask, who exactly is he trying to appease with this statement?

Do you people even listen to yourselves when you make excuses for this man?🫩

At least we all understood what he said, unlike one cocaine-sniffing bastard without father and mother. They ask you about insecurity, you begin talk about sacrifice 🤣

I watched the interview with Rufai Oseni and I still have a bit of problem with POs elocution.

However, he made very salient points especially on Banditry, No Nigerian leader can totally crush Banditry as it stands today.

It has a very multi-pronged approach including the root-cause and taking a firm position.

Is that not the right thing to do again?

Or is it not what you people in that country called Nigeria is defending for Tulumbu every day ?

Re: Nigerians React As Obi Gives Conditions To Make Deal With Bandits by Konjiboii: 10:11pm On Jun 17

Well BAT hasn't dialog with anyone but instead catch em and throw em back in society so maybe just maybe we need to dialog and know what is happening gan gan, if niger delta militants could be reasoned with and relative peace is experience in that side of the Mississippi then maybe other deserve a chance to state their grievances. Then anybody when zuzu after much dialog go collect wetin no good,let's know who our true enemies are.

It is not his elocution, it is his obtuse ideas and lack of basic reasoning abilities.
