President Bola Tinubu has spoken in strong terms that Nigeria and the entire Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) will leave no stone unturned to ensure the current political impasse in Niger Republic is amicably resolved rather than compound it, iwitnnesslive.com can report
This was contained in a statement by Mr Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, on Tuesday in Abuja when he received the Special Envoy of President Ali Bongo Ondimba and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Gabon, Mr Hermann Immongault, at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday.
“I appreciate the solidarity and support of President Bongo on the situation in Niger. We are working not to compound the problem. We have well-meaning people who have intervened.
“I understand the fear of our people on any form of military action. We are working to keep the sanctions in place, and we are following them to the letter.
“We are happy to know that ECCAS is with us on this. Interference in democratic governance is not acceptable to ECOWAS.
“We will work with ECCAS and keep President Bongo informed on our actions and we will continue to collaborate,” Tinubu assured.
