COUP: It’s Unwise To Declare War On Niger Republic, Adebanjo Tells Tinubu by bennybuhari: 11:40pm On Aug 07, 2023
National leader of pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo has warned Nigerians against the invasion of the Niger Republic, saying it is an unwise decision.

Speaking exclusively with QUESTTIMES, Adebanjo advised President Bola Tinubu who is the chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to explore other diplomatic and peaceful means in proffering solutions to the crisis, rather than an outright declaration of war.

According to him, military deployment to phase out the coup plotters in the Niger Republic will only worsen the insecurity crisis Nigeria is battling to deal with.

He also said the coup plotters in Niger are backed by foreign nations who may retaliate if ECOWAS, led by Tinubu declares war.

He said “It is unwise to declare war on Niger Republic. ECOWAS is an economic commission, not a political war commission. They should explore diplomatic and other peaceful means. It is too brash for Nigeria to talk of declaration of war on our neighbour”.

“Don’t forget, those people who took over power in Niger have foreign backers. Can Nigeria face that? Is our country here secure with what our military is facing here with bandits, kidnappers, and terrorists? Are we not going to stretch our military further if we send them to Niger? It is not wise to declare war on Niger Republic. That is my position on it”.

Don't worry it is not Tinubu's decision but that of the ECOWAS bloc. Tinubu cannot make a move without the support of the other ECOWAS countries. For the fact that they are all sending their defence chiefs to Abuja to strategize on the assault on Niger Republic shows that they are as offended by the coup as, if not more than, Tinubu himself.

Watin concerns them so call ECOWAS
Tinubu selection as Nigerian president was also a coup.

All of a sudden, Nigerian democrats have all become military enablers and supporters.

Only Bola Tinubu has kept the anti-military zeal alive and continues to fight for democracy.

As for Atiku and Obi, those ones remain opportunists who are ready to benefit from power, whether it is a military dictatorship or democracy.

They have been silent owing to their ignorance of international politics and relations, and lack of character and belief in the democratic vehicle they seek to use to attain power.

But this old Mandingo said Tinubu isn’t the president. Why is he now advising him?

Tinubu’s threat to use military option was an initial gragra.

All the indices of declaring war do not favor us with the current economic reality.

Moreso, a war on Niger, is an direct war against some Northerners.
