President Bola Tinubu has said he’s been holding back other leaders of the Economic Community of West African States from carrying out their collective threat on the military junta in Niger Republic.
Recall that the Ulamas were previously engaged in discussions with the military junta to facilitate the restoration of constitutional democratic governance in Niger Republic. But responding to the delegation of Ulamas, against the backdrop of ethnic rumours peddled by domestic political figures inside and outside of the country, President Tinubu emphasised that he is at the forefront of a peaceful resolution of the crisis, even in the midst of more hawkish individuals urging swifter intervention.
Addressing the urgency of the situation, the president added: “‘Even this morning, I have been inundated with phone calls on the readiness of countries with their military force and contributions. However, I told them to wait. I am meeting with the Ulamas and I will get back to you.”
