BREAKING: Reno Omokri Send Warning To #Putin Led Russia Over #ECOWAS And #Niger Republic Coup Saga

BREAKING: Reno Omokri Send Warning To #Putin Led #Russia Over #ECOWAS And #Niger Republic Coup Saga—Popular Nigerian author and social media influencer, Reno Omokri has just advised President Putin Led Russia to stay off from ongoing crisis between Niger Republic and ECOWAS.

He mage this known in his latest tweet via his twitter handle

This is coming after Russia has warned the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) that military intervention in Niger Republic could escalate the crisis.

Recall, Leaders of ECOWAS member states met in Abuja on Thursday and resolved to deploy a “standby force” in a bid to restore constitutional democracy to Niger and reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum.

ECOWAS chairperson and Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, had said during the summit that “no option is off the table, including the use of force as a last resort”.

Russia, however, says a military solution to the crisis could lead to a “protracted confrontation”.

“We believe that a military solution to the crisis in Niger could lead to a protracted confrontation in that African country, and to a sharp destabilisation of the situation in the Sahara-Sahel region as a whole,” the Russian foreign ministry said.

Reacting to Russia comment, Reno wrote:

Why will Russia be warning Nigeria and ECOWAS about intervening in Niger? Did we interfere when Russia invaded Ukraine? Did we poke our noses when Putin invaded Crimea? What is Russia’s business with West Africa? Did Putin not panic when Wagner and Yevgeny Prigozhin attempted a coup against him? Did he not appeal to the Belarusian President to intervene to save him? Did he not try to rally the Russian people to defend their ‘democracy’ such as it is? So, if a coup in Russia is not welcome, why should a coup in Niger be welcome? Was Nigerien the President, Mohamed Bazoum, not democratically elected? Honestly, African leaders tolerate too much interference! This is not a Western or Russian issue. Mind your businesses and leave the ECOWAS to mind theirs.
