Tinubu may negotiate with bandits — Sani Yerima
Source: Vanguard paper
A former governor of Zamfara State, Sani Yerima, has said President Bola Tinubu may dialogue with bandits in a bid to restore lasting peace and security to the country.
Yerima stated this while speaking after his visit to President Tinubu at the State House on Monday.
He said: “A lot of bandits have been arrested and killed, and I’m not saying government should just continue to just negotiate indefinitely. No, I said invite them.
“There are people, who repent in all religions — Islam, Christian, Judaism — with the fact that God, who created us once you repent after committing offences he forgives you. So there’s no way you can say Nigerians should not be forgiven if they repent.
“If they repent, they should be rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society and then measures should be taken to avoid reoccurrence of this menace.
Recall that Yerima earlier asked Tinubu to dialogue with bandits, just as the late former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua dialogued with Niger Delta militants.

The British foreign secretary, James Cleverly has said the global south should be given a more powerful voice at the world’s table by expanding the United Nations security council.
Cleverly also called for a review of the use of the veto by the council’s five permanent members, adding that the third world countries are not well represented as their voice is not heard even on issues of direct concern to them.
In a speech billed as the first in praise of the global multilateral system by a Conservative foreign secretary for 30 years, he said he had listened carefully to the global south’s leaders and that they felt wealthy countries were “hoarding power and neglecting their responsibilities”.
