Tinubu sends a representative to Niger Republic over recent coup

In an effort to resolve the ongoing political impasse in Niger Republic, Nigerian President and Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, Bola Tinubu, has taken decisive action.

Following the resolution reached during the extraordinary summit of ECOWAS in Abuja, President Tinubu has dispatched a delegation to Niger with a mandate to promptly address the situation.

The delegation, led by former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd), left for Niamey on Thursday after receiving a briefing from President Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

Alongside General Abubakar, the delegation includes the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji [Name].

The move is aimed at finding a swift and effective resolution to the current political challenges in Niger Republic, and it underscores the commitment of ECOWAS to supporting stability and peace in the region.
