If Buhari is wise, he'll think twice before proscribing Shi'ites as terrorists — Sani

Senator Shehu Sani advices Buhari to act with caution in proscribing Shi'ites as terrorists.

It keeps getting worse and Buhari's ineptitude in addressing the critical issues threatening the existence of the country, keeps showing every single day.

Nigeria as we know it is at the brink of collapse as a nation. The crack in the country is no longer between between the North and South, nor East and West, but in almost everything that holds us together.



The latest addition to mountain of issues dragging the country to its knees, is a court order seeking the Islamic Movement in Nigeria also known as Shi'ites, be labeled as a terrorist group.

While a number of Nigerians see IMN as a potential threat similar to that or Boko-Haram, many however, are with the opinion that the group's alleged crimes and threats are no where near havocs wrecked on Nigerians by armed herdsmen in the country. Therefore, armed herdsmen are more than qualified to be labeled as a terrorist group compared to Shi'ites.



Senator Shehu Sani among others, call for caution saying the Buhari administration may just end up creating more problems than it intends to solve.

Our country’s strategy for extinguishing a raging fire is that of erecting a wall of cotton to stop it.

He tweets, "Our country’s strategy for extinguishing a raging fire is that of erecting a wall of cotton to stop it."


In a follow up tweet, he adds, "Proscriptions; We are hiding our pepper in our nostrils."

The Islamic group have for days, hugged the Nation's capital in protest, demanding the release of its leader Ibrahim Zakzaky whom the Buhari administration has in detention for a couple of years now. There has been court orders requesting for the release of the group's leader, but the Buhari administration refused to comply saying its decision is in the best interest of the nation.
