Arewa Youth Assembly Rejects Call for Negotiation with Terrorists
AREWA AGENDA – The Arewa Youth Assembly, a prominent youth organization in Northern Nigeria, has slammed Sen. Yerima Bakura, the former governor of Zamfara State following his recent call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to negotiate with Terrorists.
This was disclosed by Mohammed Salihu Danlami, the speaker of Assembly on Monday via a press statement sent to Arewa Agenda.
They said treating bandits the way Late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua handled the Niger-Delta crisis is totally in contrast with their psyche and “Our group strongly disagrees with Mr. Bakura’s position and feels compelled to express our concerns.”
The group further said “While we recognize the complexity of the security challenges facing our region, we believe that negotiating with bandits is not a viable long-term solution. Banditry and other forms of criminality pose a significant threat to the peace and stability of our country. Therefore, we urge the relevant authorities, including the federal government, to prioritize the use of all necessary means to address this menace.
The statement also reads;
“We wish to equally urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Use Brute Force to decimate terrorist elements and Restore peace in the region
