Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has renewed his call for the Federal Government to initiate peace talks with b@ndits, insisting that dialogue remains the most effective route to achieving lasting security in Nigeria.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Gumi referenced the recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas as proof that even long-standing conflicts can be resolved through negotiation.
According to him, if the United States could broker peace between Israel and Hamas—two groups once at b+tter odds, then Nigeria should also be able to engage its own armed groups in dialogue.
“Peace between Israel and Hamas, whom they call terr%rists, was brokered by the USA. Who says peace can’t be made with terr%rists? Make peace with b@ndits and let us have peace,” Gumi wrote.
The Kaduna-based cleric, who has long advocated for engagement with non-state armed groups, reiterated that meaningful dialogue is key to ending the vi%lence that has plagued many parts of northern Nigeria.
