Kwankwaso Advocates Dialogue with Terrorists for Security

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), emphasized the need for dialogue with terrorists as part of his strategy to combat insecurity in Nigeria. During an interview with Channel Television on Monday, Kwankwaso outlined his administration's intentions to tackle the country's security challenges.

He proposed that engaging with terrorist groups would complement existing security measures aimed at reducing attacks and restoring peace across Nigeria. Kwankwaso noted that communities affected by violent attacks often possess critical information about these incidents but are reluctant to share it with security agencies.

He expressed the importance of encouraging local populations to communicate their knowledge of security issues to help address the ongoing crisis. His remarks come as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 presidential elections, highlighting his commitment to addressing the pressing issue of insecurity.
