Senate President Confirms Senators' Agreement on Non-Military Action in Niger Republic

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has confirmed SaharaReporters' exclusive story that the Nigerian Senate rejected President Bola Tinubu's proposal for military intervention in Niger Republic following the coup in the country. The senators instead advocated for a political resolution and urged the Nigerian government to restore power to Niger. They argued that the presence of the United States African command in Niger made military intervention unnecessary. The Senate called on Tinubu, as the Chairman of ECOWAS, to engage leaders and strengthen political options for resolving the political situation in Niger. The Northern Senators Forum also condemned the coup but rejected military action, emphasizing the use of diplomatic channels.
