Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has cautioned the leadership of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) against the engagement of military to military to restore democratic order in Niger Republic.
Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a statement signed by himself in Abuja on Thursday, said that the crisis in Niger required sustained diplomatic engagements.
He said the military intervention in the Republic of Niger had created tension across the West Africa sub-region, a development that has caused international attention to that neighbouring country to Nigeria.
Abubakar said that the putsch was even more worrisome because the number of states that had witnessed military interventions in the last three years in the sub-region was increasing.

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday made his first appearance at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) since his inauguration as president, where he adjudged the election that brought him to power as the most credible ever in the history of Nigeria.
Tinubu said he is so convinced, despite existing legal battles in court challenging the process.
He said, “Yes, we are facing challenges in the court, but I think this is the most credible election in Nigeria. So, we must congratulate ourselves. As a democrat, those who cannot accept the results of a free and fair election do not deserve the joy of victory”.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been advised to consult with Islamic economic experts to allow Muslims benefit from the various loan facilities announced by his administration to cushion the present hardship in the country.
An Islamic organisation, Standard Bearers (SB), gave the advice in a statement on Thursday in Ilorin by its national coordinator, Dr Nurudeen AbdulRaheem.
The organisation noted that the recent economic hardship occasioned by fuel subsidy removal does not discriminate between Muslims and non-Muslims.
SB regretted that the palliatives rolled out by the president in his address to Nigerians on the 31st of July “outrightly exclude the Muslims.”
