Nigeria Is The Power Of ECOWAS & We Don't Need To Go & Threaten Our Neighbors With War– Ado-Ibrahim

Former presidential candidate Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim has reacted to ECOWAS talks of military intervention in Niger following the military junta’s toppling of President Mohamed Bazoum’s government. Prince Malik asserted that those politicians advocating for military intervention are not the types of politicians who should be doing so, and we’re talking about nations like Cote d’Ivoire, where the president is attempting to force a third term. He claimed that Nigeria is the power of ECOWAS and it is not necessary to threaten our neighborhood country with war.

Speaking during an interview with Channels TV, Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim said “Those that are pushing for military intervention are really not the kinds of leaders who should be doing such things, and we are talking about countries like Cote d’Ivoire whose president is trying to force a third term. In his country, l could hardly say he’s got a democracy like Nigeria has or is it the president of Togo who took over from his father and has been president since?

Speaking further, he said “Nigeria is the power of ECOWAS and we don’t need to go and threaten our neighbors. Our forefathers in the setting up of Nigeria said we should not go to war with our neighbors, big or small and we must remain with that tradition in mind. A coup is definitely a step backward for Africa but to go and fight at our neighbor (sic), I mean the countries that did are Ukraine and Russia, and look at what is going on”.
