An outspoken Peoples Democratic Party Chieftain and one time Governorship Aspirant in Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke has lambasted Senator Shehu Sani over the statement credited to him saying that the United States (USA) cannot dictate to Nigeria who to call terrorist.
 
According to The Independent, Onuesoke while speaking through his Special Assistant on Media, Stanley O. Efe, blasted the Senator for his sectional and sentimental posture on the issue of terrorist groups in Nigeria.

“My attention has been drawn to a statement credited to the Senator representing the good people of Kaduna Central in the Red Chamber, Shehu Sani on page A8 of Independent of Tuesday, September 26, 2017.
“In as much as I want to agree with the distinguished Senator that Nigeria and US are sovereign Nations and as such, must respect each other’s laws, there’s also room for other Nations, especially US to intervene on issues bothering on terrorism as it affects the world at large.

“America has been at the forefront, fighting terrorism all over the world. They have a better understanding of the operations and activities of terrorist groups across the globe.

“Asking US not to dictate to us who to call a terrorist/group in Nigeria is a clear case of parochial sentiments by Senator Sani.

“Boko Haram & Fulani Herdsmen who daily maim, rape women & girls and kill innocent people are not terrorists but this APC led Federal Govt was quick to label a harmless group of persons agitating for their well being as a terrorist group.

“Has Senator Sani deemed it fit in time past to condemn the activities of Fulani herdsmen who unleash untold hardship on innocent citizens?.
 
“No matter their gimmicks, the world including US knows that IPOB is not a terrorist group. They don’t go about with arms and ammunitions. Their agitation is within the confines of the Constitution.

“This APC led federal government should as a matter of urgency listen to their cry. Dialogue is the way out. Restructuring the economy is a sure way to putting an end to restiveness not only in the South East but other parts of the Nation” the statement concluded.
