Former lawmaker Shehu Sani has urged the Senate not to approve President Bola Tinubu’s request for military action against the Republic of Niger.

In a post his social media platform on Friday, Sani urged Tinubu not to allow himself to be misled by foreign powers.

It was reported that the President sent a letter to the Senate seeking approval for military action and other sanctions against the military junta in Niger.

However, Sani is of the view that senators should weigh the implications and consequences of their decisions, especially those senators representing states that have borders with Niger.
