Military alone can’t end North-East security crisis – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has said the military cannot end the crisis in the Northe-East.

He also said the Bola Tinubu administration would in the coming weeks unveil an initiative that will address insurgency and poverty, among other challenges confronting Nigerians especially those living in the northern region.

He said this on Sunday while speaking with journalists after paying a condolence visit to Kano.

Senator Shettima, accompanied by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Barau Jibrin, among others, were in Kano to commiserate with the government and people of the state over the passing away of elder statesman, Alhaji Abubakar Imam Galadanci.

The VP said, “Unless we want to engage in an endless war of attrition, there cannot be a military solution to the crisis in the North-West. There has to be a kinetic and non-kinetic solution.

“In the next couple of weeks, we will unveil the Pulaku solution which will address the grievances and social exclusion of our Fulbe cousins in the North-West and also towards addressing the root causes of all the banditry and insurgency in the nation.”

The Vice President received by Kano Governor Abba Yusuf, had proceeded to the residence of the Emir of Bichi, Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, where he commiserated with him on the passing away of the late Imam Galadanci, expressing President Tinubu’s condolences.

From the Emir of Bichi’s residence, the VP proceeded to the family compound of the late Alhaji Galadanci where he was received by Prof. Shehu Galadanci and Air Vice Marshal Nura Imam (Rtd), on behalf of the family.

The Vice President, on behalf of President Bola Tinubu, expressed his condolences, prayed Allah to grant the deceased eternal rest and also console the entire Galadanci family.
