Amb Wali to President Tinubu: You’re wrong in actions against Niger Republic
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Wali, has criticized the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Heads of State and Government for giving an ultimatum to the junta in the Republic of Niger without proper consultations among the various countries.
In an exclusive interview with Sunday Sun, the former Nigerian Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York highlighted that ECOWAS lacks the authority to engage in military action in Niger without United Nations authorization.
The former Nigerian Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China, while examining the relationship between Niger and Nigeria, revealed that the two nations are closely linked. He disclosed that the wife of the head of the junta rule in the Republic of Niger, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, is from Kangiwa in Kebbi State, Nigeria.
Wali emphasized that engaging in conflict with Niger would essentially be a proxy war and advised ECOWAS to put aside pride and negotiate with the junta. The first Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also discussed the nation’s condition, stating that Nigeria has never witnessed as much looting as it did during the past eight years under Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership, in the history of party politics.
