News have it that the military government in Niger
which overthrew the democratically elected leadership of President Bazoum has
refused to surrender power despite 7 days ultimatum given by ECOWAS
In a statement by the Nigerian president and the
Chairman of the ECOWAS said that the west african bloc will take all necessary
measures to return constitutional order in niger and that "such measures
may include the use of force".
“The ECOWAS leadership will not accept any action that
impedes the smooth functioning of legitimate authority in Niger or any part of
West Africa,” the statement added.
This has led to the ECOWAS led by president Tinubu to
start preparation on deploying Nigerian army to restore power in Niger but the
process was delayed as the Nigerian senate refused to approve the request by
the president to deploy troops to Niger as part of ECOWAS force
Despite the coups in Mali, Burkina-Faso and Chad republic this is the first time ECOWAS has threatened military action to return the Democratic Government in the region.
