US COMMENDS TINUBU OVER ‘SHARED EFFORTS’ TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY IN NIGER
Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have received commendation from the United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken for their efforts to remove the military government of Niger and reinstate constitutional order in the Niger Republic.
In a post on his personal Twitter account yesterday, the US Secretary of State applauded Tinubu’s leadership of ECOWAS in what he described as shared efforts with the U.S. to remove the military leaders in Niger from power.
Blinken tweeted, “Spoke to Nigerian President Tinubu to commend his leadership of the Economic Community of West African States and discussed shared efforts to restore constitutional order in Niger.”
Tinubu has been accused of being used by the Western powers and European Union to wage war in Niger, with many Nigerians warning the President not to go to war but rather tackle challenges facing Nigeria internally.
Recall that ECOWAS, last week, activated its military arm against Niger junta’s with AU, EU backing the regional body’s move to use military force against the West African country.
