Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, has reiterated that his administration will not engage in negotiations with bandits who unleash terror in parts of the state. He spoke on Wednesday when he participated in a procession organized by the Coalition of Zamfara Youths, tagged ‘Walk for Peace.
The statement noted that the procession started at the Government House and ended at Freedom Square, where thousands gathered to demonstrate solidarity with the government in its fight against banditry. “This calls for reflection to see where we went wrong and make necessary adjustments. Security is everyone’s responsibility and we must cooperate and support the system.“I have always repeated this: that you don’t negotiate from a position of weakness. We have seen how previous governments attempted the negotiation approach which only emboldened the bandits. We have decided to rule out any negotiations with bandits for this and other reasons.
“I will continue working to develop our state further and support our people. We have made significant progress in security, education, agriculture, health, infrastructure, and empowerment, among other areas” the statement said.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
