In a tweet posted on his verified Twitter handle on Friday, August 4, Obaze, who is also the Special Adviser to Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi on public affairs, opined that it appears ECOWAS has taken the advise put forward from different quarters on the need to deploy diplomacy instead of military force in resolving the crisis in Niger Republic.
