Give bandits promising future – Buhari’s ex-minister tells Tinubu
A former Minister of Communication Adebayo Shittu has urged
the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to promise bandits a promising
future by negotiating with them.
Shittu said most of these bandits are able-bodied men whom
the Federal Government should retain.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on
Tuesday, the former minister said non-kinetic approach in dealing with banditry
would bring about a lot of results.
“If I am in position, it is not too late to use non-kinetic
measures in negotiating with bandits, giving them a promising future. Let us
retain them. Many of them are very intelligent, many of them are able-bodied,”
Shittu said.
