The northern senators forum, which is a forum comprising senators from the northern part of Nigeria speaking through their spokesperson Sen. Sule Abdulrahman Kawu has vehemently rejected any form of military intervention against the military leaders in neighboring Niger republic.
Speaking at the National assembly few hours ago warned that any form of military intervention will only escalate the situation and will put the lives of innocent citizens especially in the north in great danger, , he said that a diplomatic solution would be the best option.speaking further he said that already there is serious problem of insurgency in the northern part of the country and that any outbreak of hostility would only worsen the situation in the north

Of course. Nigeria as a country does not need it.

Why

Lol!

I was just discussing this with a friend. I told him that the Senate might not approve Tinubu’s request and there’s nothing Rubber Stamp Akpabio can do to help him.

The calculation is simple.

APC has 59 senators or thereabout.

The opposition has 50 senators.

The northern senators in APC after meeting with northern stakeholders will never support military action in Niger because they will suffer it most.

Any war in Niger will see people of Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, etc, becoming displaced because those states will be the flashpoint.

Now, add about 20 northern senators in APC to 50 opposition senators, you will get 70.

Any bill with 70 senators against it is dead on arrival.

I was waiting for this. What will Reno and Ronu people say about this ?

This present govt is just looking for western validation.

I really miss Arthur Nzeribe, ike nwachukwu, Jim Nwobodo, uche chukwumerije , chuba okadigbo class in the senate these were the guiding lights of the east in the senate

They have a point somehow. But apart from the diplomatic reason, the Hausas are the majority in Niger. No Hausa Senator would tolerate it.

They're IPOB, according to Wale.
