FIRST STEP- The State Governors in the North – Weat Must Stop all Forms of Amnesty for Bandits and Terrorists in the North – West. They Must Also Revoke all So-called Amnesty Agreements Entered With Bandits. They Should Allow the Military and Other Security Agencies Do their Job. 

The Bandits Will Never Abide by the Terms of Any Amnesty Agreement Anyway.

Amnesty for Bandits is Simply a Hoax, Red Herring and Wild Goose Chase as We Have Seen in the Last 12 Years of Amnesty for Bandits and Terrorists in the North-West.

My state is not a state for BANDITS and TERRORISTS – Say South West State Governors as they Acquire DRONES to Monitor Bandits and Terrorists. 

YOU ARE BEING WATCHED

South – West State Governors Acquire DRONES and Set Up A SURVELLANCE CENTER to Monitor Bandits Movement in their States in Real Time

The South – West State Governors Did not Deploy the Fake Instrument of AMNESTY for Bandits as Our Governors in the North-West Despite the North-West Being Hardest Hit and Actually the Incubator of Bandits and Hub of Banditry in Nigeria.

The South West Governors Pooled Resources, Bought Drones and Equipped Amotekun to Crush the Bandits and Terrorists While Our Governors in the North- West Offered Unsolicited Amnesty to Unknowingly Fund the Bandits and  Finance Terrorism in the North West.

The South-West Governor are Organized and Committed to Fight the Bandits and Terrorists While Our Governors in the North-West Handle the Bandits With Kid Gloves, Often Using Religion as a Tool.

The North-West State Governors and the Elite Must Do More to Save the Zone. The North-West Governors Must Identify and Bring all Sponsors and Symphathisers of Bandits and Terrorists to Justice.

Where are the Elites in the North-West? Where are the CSOs?

Where are the Professors and Other Academicians in the North-West? Why are they Not Speaking  Up Against Banditry and Kidnapping in the North-West? Why are they Not Putting the State Governors in the North-West on their Toes?

The North-West Giverots Must Never Wait fir the Federal Government Because the Body Language of President Tinubu Shows that he is NOT Interested.

The North-West Governors Should Arrest and Sue People Like Sheikh Gumi to Court for Their Persistent Call for Amnesty For Bandits and Terrorists.

About 70% of the North-West is Currently Without any Police Presence.

The 6 State Governors in the States of Oyo, Ogun, Lagos, Ondo, Osun and Ekiti Issued Warnings to Bandits and Terrorists.

Amotekun Field Commanders Warn Bandits to Stay Away from the South-West While Some State Governors in the North – West are Inviting Bandits for Dinner in the Government House.

Our Governors in the North-West Must Stop any Form of Amnesty for Bandits to Stand Any Chance for Peace in the 7 States Namely:

– Zamfara (The Incubator of Bandits and Capital of Banditry in Nigeria)

– Katsina (The Centre of Amnesty and Home to Bandits),

– ⁠Sokoto (The Buffer Zone for Bandits)

– ⁠Kano (The New Frontier for Bandits and a State that Has Wealthy Businessmen With Plenty Money for Ransom Payments)

– ⁠Kebbi (The Home of Lakurawa Terrorists and Very Vulnerable from the Kamba Axis Bordering Niger Republic)

– ⁠Jigawa (A Very Likely Next Destination for Bandits)

– ⁠Kaduna (The Most Volatile State With a Mix of Banditry and Ethno-Religious Mistrust)

Amotekun Embarks on Massive Recruitment of Youths in the South-West While the North West Deploys Amnesty. Some former State Governors in the North-West are Reported to have Bought OPERATIONAL VEHICLES for Bandits and Terrorists. This is incomprehensible indeed!

Our State Governors in the North-West Need to Come Together and Upgrade the ASKARAWA Vigilante Initiative to Chase Sway the Bandits and Terrorists from Our Forests. State Governors in the North-West Should Buy Drones and Set Up SURVEILLANCE CENTRES in each Local Government Area to Monitor the Bandits and Terrorists in REAL TIME.

There Has To be ONE Structure in the North West to be Formed by the State Governors to Fight the Bandits Because it is a Connected Challenge. If you Chase the Bandits from One State, They Will Move to the Next One.

The State Governors in the North-West Must Pool Resources Together Under ONE Structure to Fight the Bandits
