The Niger Republic under the regime of Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani has cut off ties with Nigeria after attempts by the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) to negotiate a return to civilian rule failed.

President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, sent a high-powered delegation to the country to meet with the coup leaders.

This followed a seven-day ultimatum issued by ECOWAS for the reinstatement of President Mohamed Bazoum to avoid possible clash with the junta.

The delegation led by General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) only met with representatives of the junta.

Subsequently, Niger severed ties with Nigeria, Togo, France, its coloniser, and the United States.


“The functions of the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassadors of the Republic of Niger” to France, Nigeria, Togo and the United States are terminated,” Radio France International quoted one of the putschists to have said on national television.

The military junta in Niger led by Tchiani, the former Head of Presidential Guard to the ousted President, Mohamed Bazoum, detained Bazoum in a palace coup on July 26, 2023, while Tchiani later declared himself Head of State.

In an attempt to resolve the political crisis in the Niger Republic, the ECOWAS on Thursday dispatched two missions abroad, with the mandate to achieving a resolution to ending the crisis.

A statement on Thursday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, Chairman of the ECOWAS’ Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Bola Tinubu, who dispatched both teams on the mission, charged the General Abubakar’s team with a mandate to expeditiously resolve the crisis in the troubled country.

The mission to Niger Republic which departed for Niamey immediately after President Tinubu’s briefing, was in line with the resolution reached at the end of the extraordinary summit of the ECOWAS held last weekend at the Presidential Villa abuja

We tell am he no hear word

Their loss.

Good for Niger! What is Timubu's business there? Is Nigeria fairing well under him? A man who is unable to remove the speck in his eyes but is eager to remove the log in his neighbour's eyes. What an interloper!!!
May the military succeed in Niger. May their country see prosperity and massive development.

Hmmm

Interesting times

That thing Tinubu and his fellow yorubas are looking for, they will surely find it. Hausas and Fulanis just dey one corner dey look them.

See what Bola Ebola Tinubu has caused. First he launched operation shege on Nigerians with hardship everywhere. Now he's destroying our friendship with Rich African states.
What will the black Zelensky (Western Puppet) do next

Everybody are just saying nonsense. It is the constitutional duty of the president to protect his people and their territories against unreasonable external forces. Which rich African states are you talking about here?
Niger that cannot match up with only Lagos state is now the topic of discussion….Nigeria and Nigerians are truly evidence of jokes!

THE WORST PART IS MAJORITY YORUBA PEOPLE HATE THIS MAN CALLED TINUBU.

Over here in the North they are portraying it as Yorubas planning to kill Hausa people in Niger on behalf of France and America and destabilise 7 northern states sharing borders with Niger. Thiis why northern Senators have turned their backs on the planned invasion by Tinubu

That Niger is hell on earth, even their herds can't get common grass to eat.
I was once into herds business, the rams and goat from the Northern Nigeria are well fed than the Malnourished ones from Niger.
A terribly hungry country making noise, Tinubu should just make sure that our borders up north are closed.
I personally don't support military intervention either. military governments were chased out by the people all over Africa, these current Nigerien loonies will not be an exception.
When the citizens are tired, they will do the needful.
Those who celebrates coup in Niger should not escape into Nigeria for survival.
They should stay in their country to enjoy the benefits of what they celebrated, or probably look elsewhere.

Depriest2020:
Their loss.

No single respect for Snoring President E-Bola Tinubu
