Northern leaders criticize the suggestion of negotiating with terrorists and bandits, cautioning against endorsing criminality and emphasizing the need to eradicate them completely. They argue that past negotiations have failed due to the absence of centralized leadership among the bandits and their non-compliance with agreements. The leaders believe that crushing the bandits and dismantling their camps is the way forward, rather than engaging in negotiations that could be exploited by the criminals. They highlight the importance of strong leadership and decisive actions to deter future violence and maintain the integrity of the Nigerian state.
