A renowned Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, on Saturday,
volunteered to join any team raised to negotiate with bandits, to bring a
lasting solution to incessant bandit’s attack in the country.
Sheikh Gumi spoke in an interview with Trust TV, on Saturday
and expressed his readiness to join in the negotiation process if President
Bola Tinubu requests his service to do so.
Gumi explained that he does not necessarily have to lead the
negotiations but would gladly be part of any government-approved group that
would be saddled with the responsibility to do so
He emphasized the need for a holistic approach that involves
scholars, emirs, and professors working together to bring peace back to
affected areas.
“I don’t have to lead it but I would volunteer myself to be
part of it. It’s not about leadership; it’s about a holistic package that
addresses the issue.
“We need the involvement of emirs, scholars, and university
professors who have conducted extensive research on these matters. Let’s all
sit down together so that we can achieve peace and enable people to return to
their farms,” Sheikh Gumi said
Recall that the former Zamfara governor, Senator
Sani Yarima called for negotiations with bandits, as it was done with Niger
Delta militants.
Gumi who welcomed the calls noted that the lack of synergy
among security agencies has hindered the fight against insecurity in the
country.
