 A former governor of Zanfarah State, Sani Yerima, has asked the federal government to dialogue with bandits terrorizing the nation. He cited the success recorded by the late former president, Umar Musayyara Dua, when he had dialogue with Niger Delta militants. Yerima believes that military force should be a last resort. The bandits, a lot of them have been killed, a lot of them have been arrested. And I'm not saying that the government should just continue to just negotiate indefinitely. No. I said, invite them. There are people who repent in all religions, Islam, Christianity, Judaism. You find that God himself who created us, once you repent after committing offenses, after committing sin, he forgives you. So there is no way you can say Nigerians should not be forgiving for if they repent. If they repent, they should be rehabilitated and integrated in the society. And the measures will be taken to avoid the occurrence of this menace. But if they don't, like I said, the government has enough power, enough resources. The military security have enough capacity. Nigerian security, I have confidence in them that they have capacity with the political will and support of government to handle this matter. So dialogue is part of governance.
