President Bola Tinubu has written to the Nigerian Sanate seeking approval for military intervention against the military junta in the Niger Republic.

Niger elected president, Mohamed Bazoum was dethroned on July 26, by his presidential guard.

Since the soldiers seized power, president Tinubu, the Chairman of the ECOWAS has been in discussions, on the appropriate ways to restore democracy in Niger.

In a bid to sanction the Military coup the Chairman of the regional bloc, Economic Community of West Africa, stopped power supply from Nigeria to the Republic of Niger on Wednesday.

The president’s letter to the Senate was read on the floor of the Upper Chamber by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.

The letter read partly: “Political situation in Niger. Following the unfortunate political situation in the Niger Republic culminating in the overthrow of its President, ECOWAS under my leadership condemned the coup in its entirety and resolved to seek the return of the democratically elected government.

“In a bid to restore peace, ECOWAS convened a meeting and came out with a communique:

“Closure and monitoring of all land borders with the Niger Republic and reactivating of the border drilling exercise.

Cutting off electricity supply to the Niger Republic; mobilising international support for the implementation of the provisions of the ECOWAS communique.

“Preventing the operation of commercial and special flights into and from Niger Republic; blockade of goods in transit to Niger, especially from Lagos and eastern seaports.

Embarking on sensitisation of Nigerians and Nigeriens on the imperative of these actions, particularly via social media.

Military build-up and deployment of personnel for military intervention to enforce compliance of the military junta in Niger should they remain recalcitrant.”
