Dr Junaid Mohammed who was
a member of the last National Conference, told Vanguard in an interview on
Sunday that it was wrong for the Buhari administration to try to appease the
Niger Delta militants while still confronting a similar terrorist group in
another part of the country.
Northern politician, Dr.
Junaid Mohammed, has asked President Muhamadu Buhari to treat the Niger Delta
Avengers, NDA, as terrorists and mete out appropriate military action against
it as it is to Boko Haram insurgents in the north.
The Kano politician and
former adviser to President Shehu Shagari, warned that any attempt by Buhari to
negotiate with the avengers instead of crushing them to serve as a deterrent to
would be terrorists, could lead to another civil war in Nigeria.
“Why is Buhari tackling
Boko Haram with the military might and going behind to negotiate with Niger
Delta militants? he asked.
“If Buhari is not careful
with the NDA he will plunge the country into another civil war because he does
not have the mandate of the law to negotiate with terrorists.
“No forward-looking nation
negotiates with terrorists. And I should say that if he does not have the
political will to deal with the militants, he should step aside. Governance
does not have room for destroyers.
