Tinubu responds to criticism about Niger intervention

 

 


Nigeria's President, Bola Tinubu, has addressed the backlash regarding the decision to potentially intervene militarily in Niger. He clarified that the choice, along with the ultimatum to reinstate Niger's ousted president, was made by the Ecowas regional bloc and not solely by Nigeria.


Tinubu's spokesperson further explained that the economic sanctions imposed on Niger were enacted by Ecowas. Initially, Ecowas had indicated a preference for resolving the conflict through diplomatic and political means.
