AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. PRESIDENT AND THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY (NASS) ON THE DANGERS OF THE
RELOCATION OF AMERICAN AND FRENCH MILITARY BASES FROM THE SAHEL TO NIGERIA

Your Excellencies,

It is a common knowledge that the American and French governments have been
desperately lobbying the governments of Nigeria, Benin, Togo, and Ghana to agree to
sign new defense pacts that would enable them to redeploy their soldiers expelled from
Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. Some of the troops have been redeployed to Chad but
France and United States prefer countries of the Gulf of Guinea that are more strategically located to serve their interests in the central zone of the Sahel. Of the
countries in the Gulf of Guinea, Nigeria turns out to be the most strategically located.
There are indications that the Nigerian Government may be favorably disposed to the
proposed defense pact. However, there is a widespread apprehension that signing of
the pact by Nigeria would have wide ranging implications for defense and internal
security of the country.
On 22nd December 2023, the last of France’s 1,500 troops deployed in Niamey and two
other bases in the tri-frontier of Niger were marched out of the country. On March 16th,
2024, Niger Republic suspended the military agreement with the United States signed
in 2012, which allowed the US to station about 1100 US troops and civilian personnel
permanently in Niger, to operate from two American bases in the country. American
Airbase 101 is located in Niamey while Airbase 201 is located near the small northern
city of Agadez, about 920 kilometers southwest of Niamey. These French and
American bases were used by the French and the Americans to carry out manned and
unmanned surveillance flights and other operations in the Sahel. The bases had become
the focal points for Western intelligence and surveillance operations in West Africa.
The American and French troops were expelled because their presence did not serve
any useful purpose. Instead, they were using the defense pact to carry out surveillance
operations in the region to serve their geopolitical strategic interests. As a result of this
expulsion, the Gulf of Guinea countries especially Nigeria, are being pressured to
compromise their sovereignty by harboring these foreign troops who would come to
serve the interests of NATO to the detriment of the national interests and security of
the countries of the Gulf of Guinea. Nigeria’s civil war experiences when France
overtly supported the Biafran secessionists, and the ambivalence of the US should
provide our leaders with food for thought.
It is important to remember that Nigerians have consistently opposed defense
agreement with foreign countries since the 1960s when the Balewa administration was
forced to abrogate the Anglo-Nigerian Defense Agreement, because the agreement

Moreover, hosting foreign troops often leads to increased prices and living costs in
local areas, disproportionately affecting the lower-income population.
Environmentally, the construction and operation of military bases can lead to
significant degradation of the local environment. This includes deforestation, soil
erosion, water contamination, and loss of biodiversity, which are detrimental to
agricultural communities and indigenous populations. The long-term environmental
damage could further hinder economic opportunities and sustainable development.
Historically, the presence of foreign military bases has often led to strained relations
not only with neighboring countries but also within the host country itself, as seen in
numerous global instances. Public opinion in Nigeria has consistently shown a strong
resistance to foreign military alliances that compromise the nation’s sovereignty and independence. The controversial history of foreign military presence in Nigeria, dating
back to the abrogation of the Anglo-Nigerian Defense Agreement in the 1960s, serves
as a significant historical precedent highlighting the potential risks and public
discontent associated with such agreements. This historical awareness and skepticism
are echoed in the present day, where there is considerable public apprehension towards
the re-establishment of foreign military bases.
In conclusion, as stewards of Nigeria’s sovereignty and guardians of its national
interests, it is incumbent upon our leadership to heed the lessons of history and the
voice of its people. The relocation of foreign military bases to Nigerian soil represents
not just a potential compromise of our sovereignty but also sets a precedent that may
lead to unforeseen geopolitical, economic, and social consequences. We, the
signatories of this open letter, urge you to consider the broader implications of such
agreements and to prioritize Nigeria’s long-term peace and security over short-term
strategic alignments. By standing firm against the pressures to house foreign bases,
Nigeria can affirm its commitment to self-determination and foster a more stable and prosperous future for all its citizens. Let us choose a path of cautious diplomacy and
strategic independence, ensuring that our nation remains a beacon of stability and a
model of sovereign integrity in Africa.

Supreme Court Clarifies Key Issues in Plateau Governorship Election Dispute Between Governor Mutfwang And Nantawe
-
The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard the appeal filed by the incumbent Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), challenging the nullification of his election by the Court of Appeal.

The appellate court had declared Nentawe Yilwatda of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the elected governor, on the grounds that Mutfwang was not validly sponsored by the PDP, which had violated a court order to conduct a repeat congress in all the local government areas of the state.

A five-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice John Okoro, presided over the matter and raised fundamental questions on the jurisdiction of the tribunal and the lower court to entertain issues of nomination, sponsorship and qualification of candidates by a political party.

The court clarified during adoption of briefs that it had ruled severally that such issues were internal affairs of the party and not justiciable by the tribunal or the court.

The court also noted that there were three petitions filed by different parties, but it would only consider the one filed by the governor and any decision taken would bind the others.

The legal teams of the parties were led by eminent Senior Advocates of Nigeria. Chief Kanu Agabi represented the governor, Emeka Etiaba appeared for the PDP, S. Atung argued for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), while Prof. Olatoke defended Nentawe Yilwatda of the APC.

The court examined the arguments of the counsel and observed that the election petition tribunal and the Plateau State High Court in Kaze’s case had erred in law by assuming jurisdiction over issues that were beyond their competence.

The court further stated that the nomination and sponsorship of candidates was the sole prerogative of the national working committee of a party and not the state chapter, as stipulated by section 87 of the Electoral Act.

The court, therefore, reserved judgement in the appeal and said a date would be communicated to the parties. The judgement is expected to be delivered before January 16, 2024, when the appeal will expire.
