NIGERIA’s President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the ECOWAS current Chairman has urged the Islamic group involved in negotiations with the Niger junta to return to Niamey, stressing that diplomatic options would be exhausted before possible military intervention as a last resort.
“General Abdulsalami Abubakar (a Nigerian former military Head of State) instituted a nine-month transition programme in 1998, and it proved very successful, leading the country into a new era of democratic governance,” a presidential spokesman said in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, 31st August.
