Vice President Kashim Shettima has announced that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will soon reveal its agenda to tackle insecurity and poverty, particularly in the Northern region. He made this statement while addressing reporters during a condolence visit to Kano State.
He noted that the security situation in the Northwest would have to be addressed through carrot and stick approach.
Shettima, who was accompanied by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, among others, was in Kano to commiserate with the government and people of the state on the passing of elder statesman, Alhaji Abubakar Imam Galadanci.
A statement by the Director of Information in his office, Mr. Olusola Abiola, said Vice President Shettima announced that the President would soon unveil the Pulaaku Solution, a Fulani code of conduct, to restore peace and security in accordance with the ethnic nationality’s ethos.
The statement said the plan would be centred on abstaining from anything that could lead to disgrace or embarrassment of the race.
Speaking on President Tinubu’s plan to address challenges confronting Nigerians, Shettima said: “The President is determined to define the meaning and concept of modern governance and the crisis we have in the Northwest, which is further accentuated by poverty.
“Unless we want to engage in an endless war of attrition, there cannot be a military solution to the crisis in the Northwest. There has to be a kinetic and non-kinetic solution.
“In the next couple of weeks, we will unveil the Pulaaku Solution, which will address the grievances and social exclusion of our Fulbe cousins in the northwest and towards addressing the root causes of all the banditry and insurgency in the nation.”
