Bola Tinubu on Saturday said federal authorities must understand the deployment of brutal force alone will not be a sufficient approach towards addressing the country’s metastasising security crises, saying the government should instead emphasise other soft tactics to rescue the country from rampaging terrorists, bandits and herdsmen.

Mr Tinubu stated this while chairing the 2021 Sardauna Memorial Lecture held on March 27 at the Arewa House, Kaduna.

While addressing the herdsmen-farmers crisis, a major driver of insecurity across the country, the former Lagos governor noted that violent crimes can only be solved through economic solutions.

“Like I said in my recent statement on the pressing issue of the herder and farmer dispute, we must appreciate that martial security measures alone will not suffice,” Mr Tinubu said. The presidential frontrunner admitted that challenges of security, poverty and unemployment are at the core of the government’s responsibilities,
The “problems that are essentially of an economic origin must also have an economic solution,” Mr Tinubu said.

Over 100,000 Nigerians have been killed while an estimated three million have been displaced in devastating attacks linked to Boko Haram terrorists operating in the North-East, armed bandits out of the North-West while killer herdsmen continue to overrun communities across south and central parts of the country. The crises have worsened economic conditions and national cohesion under President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mr Tinubu however suggested that even though improved security measures are necessary, they cannot be the only steps.

“Enhanced security may be the necessary first step, but it cannot be the only step. We cannot resolve this problem by holding on to one-dimensional answers,” adding that “We must all be dispassionate in our search for solutions. These challenges are multi-faceted and so shall the solutions must be.”

Barely two weeks ago, Mr Tinubu, in a statement, recommended that herders and farmers be compensated for losses they have suffered during crisis, this, according to him will “break the current cycle of violence and poverty.”



He had also recommended that a meeting with state governors, security operatives, traditional rulers, herders and farmers’ representatives be held with a “purpose to hammer out a set of working principles to resolve the crisis.

Mr Tinubu, a leader of the ruling APC, has been nurturing plans to succeed Mr Buhari in 2023. He was a pillar of support for Mr Buhari’s successful presidential run in 2015, yet the president has continued to endure criticism for not only failing to find solutions to the crises but allowing them to spread uncurbed.

It remained unclear whether or not Mr Tinubu has enumerated his solutions to the president before airing them publicly in press statements and podium appearances.

Everything this man is saying is linked to his presidential ambition in 2023. And insha Allah, he will never see it

Lol

We know his type

Foolish man

If his children or grandchildren were among those in captivity he won't be saying such from his rotten mouth

How can any sane person be saying the government should be gentle on those killing innocent Nigerians

Even the bandits/ kidnappers sef are very dumb, why can they be launching their offensive on the ruling class instead of the poor

Whom the gods want to kill, they first make him mad

Like the terrorists and killer herdsmen are using minimal force in killing families, soldiers, travellers, school children, IDP's etc...

Use Minimum Force Against Terrorists, Killer Herdsmen, while they use maximum force on Nigerians and Security personals
If I slap you

those UK guys fuckup, dem for kill this man son that time.
looking at this from another perspective, Tinubu is indirectly tell the us that the northern elites are solidly behind or in support of the terrorists,(what we already know) thus he is telling them he wont use deadly force on their foot soldiers if they support him to win the presidency.

Hahahaha

This guy is a clown..He thinks he can deceive northerners with eye service politics.

that recommendation is for the south

-1). "A fight against BH terrorists is a fight against the north." -Buhari.

-2). "Proscription of Ansaru(BH terrorists) violates the constitution.." -Lai Mohammed.

-3). "The sultan of Sokoto, the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslims, has condemned the military crackdown against the Islamist Boko Haram sect. "We cannot solve violence with violence," -Mohammed Sa'ad Abubakar.

4). "......Federal authorities must understand the deployment of brutal force alone will not be a sufficient approach towards addressing the country’s metastasising security crises, saying the government should instead emphasise other soft tactics to rescue the country from rampaging terrorists, bandits and herdsmen....."-Bola Tinubu.

See them? Wicked people! The same Bola Tinubu that boldly advocates & supports the use of maximum force by the military against peaceful #EndSARS, #EndBrutality /Impunity protesters is today telling the same govt to soft pedal on atrocious & treasonable elements that have maimed and killed hapless Nigerians?
http://saharareporters.com/2020/10/20/endsars-ex-lagos-governor-tinubu-justifies-use-force-peaceful-protesters-president

Use "soft tactics" on the same terrorists that have been killing Nigerians and our military as "soft targets" even when our they are using kinetic and non-kinetic approach to this guerrilla warfare? Thunder fire you.

Desperation could lead to discombobulation and reduction in the ability for a human to reason appropriately.

Just imagine what politics can turn people into.

A Wife took her very ill husband to see the Doctor. After the medical routine check-up, the Doctor confidentially told the wife, Give him healthy breakfast daily. Be pleasant and always in a good mood. Don't fight over sex or deny him sex. Cook tasty dinner and don't discuss your problems with him. Stop watching TV shows and Facebook. Don't demand for money or new jewelry. If you can do this for one year, your husband will be ok.
On their way home, the Husband asked, "What did the doctor say?"
Wife: Your survival is not possible!

A Camelion must change colour according to it's environment. The other time he asked us to show him cows as evidence that herdsmen can kill.

just the way ur son too will b kill in future to come

We need to seat Tonubu down in an interview and ask him this important question. What does he want his Nigeria to look like? Let’s hear from him.

If what Lagos looks like is what his Nigeria would look like. Then i would advise everyone currently going to school or trying to send their children to school to withdraw them from school and take them to garage under MC Oluomo. If you don’t want that to happen to your children there is an alternative, join the movement for the actualization of Yoruba nation.

Hahahaha women must be women.

See as Timubu is sounding irrational like the northerners.

The eternally useless Nigerian media will never stop their fake news.


The headline is different from the body.


Nowhere in that news did he mention minimum force, he's rather advocating for a multi - dimensional solution.


The media know that any rubbish they put out about Tinubu, PDP Dundees will run with it.




I AM DONE TALKING

SOFTLY SOFTLY. I NEED THEM TO VOTE FOR ME.

Tinubu the slave keeps ass licking his fulani masters, e no go better for him and those supporting him

trying too hard to be in the good book of the northerners.

MAY YOU NEVER SMELL THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA!

Same minimum force you used in killing innocent Endsars protesters at Lekki Toll gate

You're a bastard

Mischievous headline. Always want to twist everything BAT says

Minimum force on terrorists, Maximum force on protestors. Power has rendered this one brainless. Is Evans a herder?
