The President of the Senate, Sen Godswill Akpabio, has confirmed our Earlier exclusive reports on the Senate rejection of military intervention in Niger Republic by the President Bola Tinubu-led Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS).
Recall we earlier exclusively reported that after a closed-door session, the Senate agreed to pass a resolution ruling out President Tinubu’s military action in Niger Republic over the coup in the country.
Sources at the close-door executive session on Saturday told newsmen that the senators would also prevail on the Nigerian government to restore power to the neighbouring country.
It was learnt that to disregard Tinubu’s military option, some of the senators argued that the United States African command already had a base in Niger Republic and there was no need for Nigeria to deploy troops “to please Americans and other Western countries.”
