Muslim clerics from Nigeria held a meeting with Abdourahmane Tchiani, leader of the military coup in Niger.
The Cable paper reported that, the clerics met with him on Saturday in Niamey, the country’s capital.
The trip was a component of diplomatic efforts to reestablish democracy in the country of West Africa.
On Wednesday night, Sheik Dahiru Bauchi’s intervention group met with President Bola Tinubu at the presidential mansion in Abuja.
In an effort to restore civilian government in Niger, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has already announced the deployment of a standby force.
It will be recalled that President Tinubu gave the go-ahead for the Islamic leaders to mediate the crisis surrounding the Niger coup on behalf of the Council of Ulamas.
When the Islamic clerics went to the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja today to ask his permission to mediate in the Niger coup situation, Nigerian Tribune Online paper reports that Tinubu gave them the go-ahead.
