Shehu Sani, a former senator for Kaduna Central has taken to his verified Twitter page to say dialogue with bandits is a waste of time.
It was reported that a former Zamfara Governor, Sani Yerima call on President Bola Tinubu to dialogue with bandits as late former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua dialogued with Niger Delta militants.
While reacting to this, the outspoken activist, Shehu Sani took to his microblogging, Twitter to highlight reasons why dialogue with bandits won’t work out.
Shehu Sani made it clear in his statement by revealing that bandits were criminal groups founded for kidnapping for ransom, blackmailing, and killing innocent people.
On that note, Shehu Sani made it known in his statement by saying dialogue with bandits was a waste of time.
Giving his reason, Shehu Sani said it was because some governors who tried to dialogue with bandits later regretted it.
In his tweet, Shehu Sani wrote below:
“Dialogue with Bandits will not work because of these three reasons; they are not an armed movement founded for the pursuit of any religious, ethnic, or political causes, other than extortion by atrocious blackmail, abductions, and cold-blooded murder of innocent citizens. Two, they are not united under a single leadership but operate in clusters and criminal gangs; three, their motivation is money. they kill and abduct for money.
Bandits are unlike Iswap and Boko elements whose acts of abduction, terrorist attacks, and slaughter of innocent citizens are done under the guise of religion.
Dialogue with Bandits is a waste of time. Those Governors who tried it later regretted it.”
