Russia Will Back Niger Republic Against Nigeria — Tinubu Warned

As diplomatic tension continues to build up in Niger republic following the coup d’etat that sacked former President Mohamed Bazoum, Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged to exercise caution in his intervention. The Economic Community of West African States ECOWAS led by President Tinubu has been speaking tough threatening military action against the new junta.

Bazoum was removed by his personal security aides in the country’s presidential guard — making it the sixth successful coup to be recorded in West Africa since August 2020. Colonel Major Amadou Abdramane announced the overthrow of Bazoum who took power on April 2, 2021. The Whistler reported that President Tinubu who doubles as the chairperson of ECOWAS had in his first reaction warned the junta that “the world will not tolerate any situation that incapacitates the democratically-elected government” of Niger Republic.

The ECOWAS leaders subsequently held an emergency meeting on Sunday in Abuja, where they resolved to forcefully invade Niger Republic to restore democratic order in the country. Amid the threat, the junta reportedly announced that it was immediately suspending the export of uranium and gold to France, with the country said to account for 24% export of uranium to the EU. But Shehu Sani, the former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District of Kaduna State, has warned President Tinubu not to “allow himself to be pushed to initiate and trigger a war with a neighbouring country and later be left stranded”.

According to him, Russia may back Niger Republic against Nigeria in the event that a war supervenes. In a tweet, Sani gave the following thirteen reasons Tinubu should tow the path of negotiation instead of subscribing to use of force in resolving the problem.
1 Ecowas armed invasion of Niger Republic is simply a war between Nigeria and Niger because of our proximity.
2 Russia and Wagner May come in support of Niger Republic and Nigeria will have to use its own money to prosecute the operation; Nigeria offset

No mind that idiots cursing his or her generation Below u.

You wonder the foolish pple that hates Niger during buhari regime suddenly love them now because tinubu still be thr president.

You wonder the stupid tribe that always call Nigeria zoo before election suddenly want to rule the zoo.
Now they are back by calling Nigeria all sorts of name again.
They always happy whenever bad news hit the country they claim they love more than is.
They always bitter and wailing when ever things don't fall to thr side.
Very set of people with entitlement mentalities.
They even pleading to Niger for post in thr government.
Some of them are saying if ECOWAS bring war to Niger, they ready to support Niger to fight Nigeria.
U can imagine
