Nigeria Doesn’t Need Lakurawa, France To Destabilize Niger - Fani-kayode by Leobankx(op): 12:52pm On Dec 29, 2024

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode on Sunday said Nigeria does not need to collaborate with France and Lakurawa terrorist organization to destabilize Niger Republic.

Fani-Kayode said Nigeria is not part of the western powers sponsoring terrorists organizations to wretch havoc on the West African sub region.

He was reacting to claims by President Tchiani of Nigeria Republic that President Bola Tinubu was conniving with France to destabilize his country.

Tchiani had disclosed this in an interview with Radio-Télévision du Niger.

He alleged that the Lakurawa terrorist group, with the help of foreign security forces, including Nigeria’s, was responsible for the attack on the Niger-Benin oil pipeline on December 13, 2024, in Gaya, Dosso Region of Niger Republic.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode posted on X: “If Nigeria wanted to destabilise Niger Republic I do not believe that we would need France or any terrorist organisation to do so.

“I have maintained that the western powers are behind the terrorist groups that have plagued the West African sub region over the last 15 years and for the last ten years I have publicly stated this and given my reasons.

“I am equally certain that Nigeria, being one of the major victims of these terrorist organisations, has had no part in it and that no Nigerian President, past or present, has indulged in such grave and dangerous actions.

“The Nigerien Military Head of State, Abdourahamane Tchiani, would do well to be careful not to provoke our wrath with his absurd assertions and remain mindful of the fact that the defence budget for his country, Mali and Burkina Faso COMBINED is not up to 25% of Nigeria’s.

“Tchiani’s grave allegations that President Tinubu and NSA Nuhu Ribadu have been bought by the French to destabilise Niger Republic, that our Government is jointly sponsoring a terrorist group with France to do same and that there are French military bases in Nigeria are infantile, puerile, mendacious and asinine.

“It is a squalid attempt by the Nigerien Head of State to sow the seeds of dissention in our country, to alienate our people from constituted authority, to divide our people and to undermine the Tinubu administration.

“It is also highly provocative and the FG should consider the possibility of taking other more extreme measures if this reckless provocation continues.

“We are under no obligation to show restraint when we are being undermined and maligned.”

Well FFK is right on this, what will be Nigeria's gain in destabilising Niger, not like they have anything we want, it will just cause massive immigration into Nigeria which we don't want.

The same Niger that Buhari was building roads, houses and railways for is now carrying shoulder.

Niger already failed. Tchiani is overwhelmed. He is clutching on straws. He has no clue how to run a country. He is now blaming Nigeria and France for his leadership lapses.

As for those who asked that if I would align with Nigeria if I was an African leader. Those asking that question exposed how myopic they are. Even UK needs to build alliances with Nigeria. The celebrated Nigerian hater, Kemi Badenoch, brought herself to Nigeria to sign an MOU with Doris Uzoka Anite for UK lawyers to be able to practice law in Nigeria.

Sensible countries are building alliances, Tchiani built enemies with his neighbours.

How myopic.

Dey play. Na so una beat chest say dem no fit commot ecowas, that tinubu would deal with them decisively. Today, they're the winner. There are so many great verifiable things that Niger republic have achieved in leadership and consistency which nigeria is lacking in. Are you aware Niger used to export the 70% of the cooking gas that we used to consume before the ecowas ban was placed on them and the price of gas rose astronomically and has never dropped since then? Our gas from NLNG was mainly for export.

Are you also aware that Niger republic had a functional refinery and have run it for years unhindered without making noise? Are you also aware that same Niger supplies 80% of the onions that africa consumes? Are you aware that onions now cost much more than pepper in the market as a result of the ban?

Also, they supply a larger percentage of the vegetables we were eating in Nigeria. 60% of the cow and beans we ate used to come from them. They now want to be exporting their gold, which they had in commercial qty. I wasn't told these facts, I had always known cos I had a business partner in Niger.He's also very close to their government. In case you're still in doubt, Google will assist you.

We benefit from Niger than they benefit from us. Their onions are now exported to south and east africa, etc at much cheaper prices.
It's high time we ate our ego and parleyed them. Niger isn't like Nigeria where we play politics with human life . They value their people so much and why they removed their leader who went and released a major isis leader. That's a country that cares, not Nigeria that would say terrorists are mere bandits or militiamen instead of calling a spade it's real name. A VP to tinubu wouldn't be in government in Niger. He wouldn't even be able to near power. Rather, he'd have been in jail, for creating and sponsoring boko haram.
When a country like Niger is making a statement,they have their facts, unlike Nigeria.

FFK I don't think this man is accusing Tinubu and France wrongly because he also have intelligences that can give him informations. FFK is not about the size of the military/security budgets, are they being releasing the funds for the purpose? Right from Goodluck Jonathan till date, the money for security in this country is always shared among the politicians.

On other note Tinubu is a desperate politician that can trade anything for his re-election.

Tinubu and France should leave Niger 🇳🇪 alone.

We don't need that.
And most of all we don't need to distabilize them.
The neighboring West African Countries are already a hole in our pocket.

Ghana, Niger, Senegal, Cameroon, Benin, Chad etc
Feeding this folks with electricity that they can't even pay for and yet they disrespect us for it is something we should not continue doing.
The relationship is parasitic. Nigeria gains nothing from the West African orgy.....

We have the capacity to shut down most of these west African countries.
Imagine a Ghanian bragging bout steady power supply that their government owed Nigeria billions of dollars for.
The Niger president is using a phone with a battery powered by Nigerian gas to Tweet trash against us.....

There's no smoke without fire. Nigerien government never made this type of accusation before Tinubu administration against Nigeria. Definitely, the allegation might be true.

Tinubu shouldn't just extend his garbage and gaffe to subjecting Nigerians to war with the current economic mess.
