BREAKING: Peter Obi Finally Speaks On Niger Republic Crisis Amid #ECOWAS Invasion Plans
BREAKING: Peter Obi Finally Speaks On Niger Republic Crisis Amid #ECOWAS Invasion Plans—The Genius Media Nigeria reports that in a significant turn of events, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has stepped forward to address the ongoing turmoil in Niger Republic.
Amidst this crisis, Peter Obi has emerged as a voice of reason, articulating a prudent and pertinent approach to resolving the intricate situation within the African Nation.
Taking to the platform of X (Twitter), Peter Obi voiced his observations and recommendations with eloquence.
“Recent developments in the neighbouring Niger Republic have become the subject of international attention. For Nigeria, this development is a matter of dire and urgent national interest and security.
“Inevitably, Niger is a hot-button issue for ECOWAS, as well as various international interlocutors. Regardless of the positions taken by various parties that have direct or tangential interests in Niger, primacy must be given to dialogue and diplomacy towards a resolution with minimal disruptive impact on Nigeria and the West African sub-region. A total diplomatic resolution must take into consideration the realpolitik of the West African sub-region.
“I applaud the respective mediatory efforts by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, His Eminence Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto and His Royal Highness Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Whereas ECOWAS authorities have indicated that they remain open to various conflict resolution options, diplomacy must remain the overarching imperative in resolving the present crisis. I join the many well-meaning Nigerians who have advocated that any intervention in the crisis, should be pre-eminently through diplomatic dialogue among all strategic interests in the crisis.
“It is therefore important that the people of Niger are allowed via their national institutions, the opportunity to revert quickly to a representative democratic government. All national, regional and international assistance should be extended to the people of Niger to return their country to normalcy. While ECOWAS must seek to discourage the spread of military dictatorships in West Africa, the recourse to armed deterrence must be retrained by multilateral diplomatic mechanisms.
“What the situation in Niger urgently calls for is a concerted multilateral coalition of Nigeria, ECOWAS, the AU and the UN towards a programmed return to a democratic constitutional order. In this process, Nigeria’s leadership role must not be in any doubt. -PO”
