Islamic Cleric, Shiekh Ahmad
Gumi has explained why the Bandit/Killer Herdsmen crisis hitting the nation
still continues.
In a statement on Monday, Gumi,
seen by POLITICS NIGERIA revealed that there is no unity between the Nigerian
Presidency and the military when it comes to matters of insecurity in the
country.
He wrote: “I have met many of
the bandit leaders to see a way out of this gridlock. I have talked to the
political class and security agents. Except for an exception, most state
governors want a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The Police and other
security outfits have also realised the enormity of the problem.”
“But, unfortunately, the presidency for what appears to be
political gullibility and the military for budgetary reasons as they are the
most beneficiary of conflicts of this nature doesn’t seem to be on the same
page.”
“This conflict can be resolved by active engagement of the government with the
agitators.” He said.
“Just as we saw how ENDSAR
agitation was swiftly managed after an initial scandalous failed military
confrontation, was peacefully resolved by the government, likewise, the
herdsmen crisis can be.”
