“President Bola Tinubu in the next couple of weeks will unveil the ‘Pulaku’ solution which will address the grievances and the social exclusion of our Fulani cousins in the North West,” Vice President Kashim Shetima announced during a press conference in Kano.
Shettima, while addressing the media after a condolence visit, shed light on the upcoming strategy to tackle banditry and killings in the region.
Tinubu’s approach will encompass both military and non-military measures, aiming to address the root causes of the crises.
“The crises we have in the North West, further associated with poverty and social exclusion, is something that the president is determined to confront,” Shetima stated.
“Unless we want to engage in an endless war of attrition, there cannot be a military solution to the crises in the North West; there has to be a kinetic and non-kinetic solution.”
Shetima emphasized the significance of addressing the underlying factors contributing to the unrest. The President proposed solution seeks to redefine the meaning and concept of modern governance, focusing on resolving the issues of poverty and social exclusion that have fueled banditry and insurgency.
