“We are deep in our attempts to peacefully settle the issue in Niger by leveraging on our diplomatic tools,” he said. “I continue to hold ECOWAS back, despite its readiness for all options, in order to exhaust all other remedial mechanisms. “War is not ideal for my economic reforms, nor for the region, but the defence of democracy is sacrosanct. The ECOWAS consensus is that we will not allow anyone to insincerely buy time.”
