According to Vanguard, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has called for the lifting of sanctions against Niger Republic by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and commended Nigerian Senators for rejecting military action against Niger.
In a statement by the Publicity Secretary of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Prof Tukur Muhammad-Baba, sought for more dialogue with the Niger military junta in order to prevent further deterioration of negotiations following the expiration of the one-week deadline earlier given to the military junta to restore democratic rule in the country.
Part of the statement read as, “We call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and ECOWAS to review the situation and restore full dialogue with the military junta by removing the economic blockade and other sanctions as a sign of goodwill to facilitate swift dialogue.
“The ACF commends the Northern Senators Forum for their commendable efforts in persuading Senate members to reject military action against Niger Republic. We extend our gratitude to the upper chamber of our National Assembly for toeing the line of a peaceful approach to the resolution of the conflict.”
