Ekiti State governor Kayode Fayemi, has revealed that the government knows where all the bandits are, and will start neutralising them to end insecurity in the country.
Fayemi disclosed this during an interview on Arise News on Saturday, expressing that within the next 17 months, the issue of insecurity in Nigeria will be fixed.
The governor said, “If we can destroy that monster of insecurity, the opinion in the country will change dramatically. If we decide to go after these people without too much attachment to human rights and issues that may come up from the international communities; these people are not ghosts.
We know where the bandits are, so we can neutralise them and then begin to have the opportunity. It may not be completely finished under this government, but you can do that part of it under this administration.
“Neutralise all these elements that are responsible for the chaos that they have thrown our nation into. Unless there are people within the security institutions who are benefiting from the war economy itself, there is no question that they know what to do and we can fix it in 17 months.”
“There are a range of factors to put in place; the first is finishing well here. This will put me on the pedestal for the presidential interest.
“But there is no doubt that it is not about running or not running for president that Nigeria requires at this point. I think we need a collective position to save and rescue our country from agitations, all these resentment in and around the country. We need to come together and help president Buhari finish well, that is the task of the moment; not who gets to be president. In due course that would happen.”
