Chief Femi Fani-Kayode tweeted today urging ECOWAS to intervene in Niger Republic without using Nigerian troops. He provided insights about the head of the military junta there. Fani-Kayode stressed their role in establishing the current government, emphasizing their vested interest in its success.
While discouraging military invasion, he warned that no amount of propaganda could alter the fact. He cautioned against the risk of a widespread conflict involving not only Niger Republic but also Mali, Burkina Faso, and Wagner. He expressed concern that such a conflict might lead to Nigeria’s internal division along ethnic, regional, and religious lines, urging the President to prevent this outcome.
Furthermore, he noted, “The wife of General Abdourahman Tiani, head of the military junta in Niger, is a Nigerian from Kangiwa, Kebbi State. The Emir of Dosso in Niger Republic acknowledges the Emir of Argungu in Nigeria.”
