Kaduna State Governor has Blood on His Hands
Uba Sani Misfired by granting Amnesty to bandits
Dr Abubakar Alkali
Any STATE GOVERNOR who grants amnesty, negotiates or gives any form of soft landing to bandits and terrorists has BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.
The Kaduna state Governor Uba Sani has erroneously granted amnesty to bandits and terrorists who daily make life unbearable for his people in Kaduna state particularly in the Birnin Gwari axis. History has shown that amnesty for killer bandits and terrorists never work. From Zamfara to Katsina to Niger to Sokoto, amnesty for bandits has never and will never work for killer bandits because of the blood of the innocent people killed by these terrorists.
The question to ask Governor Uba Sani is ‘What about the innocent people killed by these bandits and terrorists? What about those raped and displaced by these bandits?
Bandits and terrorists DO NOT deserve AMNESTY. They should be dealt with according to the dictates of the law.
Granting amnesty to bandits and terrorists jeopardises counter-insurgency operations and the work of our gallant military fighting on the front lines to keep us safe.
Surely, Governor Uba Sani has blood on his hands.
Granting amnesty to bandits and terrorists is an admission of failure on the part of government that they cannot handle rag tag bandits. While comparably little Niger republic has chased away these bandits, Nigeria the so-called giant of Africa has resorted to begging, negotiating and a misplaced amnesty with these killer bandits.
Nigeria with all its resources – military and other security agencies, human, material cannot handle rag tag bandits and terrorists? We have to stay fixated to a so-called amnesty which has never worked? Haba
Where has amnesty ever worked? Even the so-called amnesty for Niger Delta militants backfired long time back, because the militants collected money and upgraded their trade from mere burst of pipelines to outright oil theft for export with alleged connivance of security agencies. Now Nigeria cannot meet its OPEC quota. A country that can potentially make 5 million barrels per day is struggling to make 1 million bpd. Shame!
Any President, state governor or any public office holder for that matter who grants any form of AMNESTY or negotiates or gives any form of soft landing to killer bandits and terrorists has BLOOD ON HIS HANDS which he will carry to his GRAVE and explain to his CREATOR.
