President Bola Tinubu has warned of impending “grave consequences” should the military rulers of Niger Republic allow deposed President Mohamed Bazoum’s health to deteriorate while under house arrest.

Bazoum, alongside his family members, has been under house arrest since July 26, after the presidential guards overthrew his government.

A European Union (EU) official, Charles Michel, disclosed this after a call from president Tinubu on Friday.

The French Agency reported that during a call to the EU official, Tinubu who chairs ECOWAS, which is opposed to the Niger coup, said, “President Bazoum’s detention conditions are deteriorating.”

Meanwhile, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that the ongoing crisis in Niger could significantly worsen food insecurity in the poor country.

The closure of the border between Niger and Benin has halted food imports through the port of Cotonou.

Niger Republic War drums – Nigeria disappoints, returns to big-for-nothing status

Before Nigeria cut off electricity supply to the Niger Republic, how many past Nigerian Presidents and Heads of Government, say Gens Olusegun Obasanjo or Ibrahim Babangida did President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ask for advice? Did he even contact

Prof Bola Akinyemi who played a key role in energizing Nigerian diplomacy in the mid-‘1970s and 1980s? That was the golden era of Nigerian diplomacy.

Oh, how far things have changed for the worse in Nigerian diplomacy. From the inception of the Murtala Muhammed administration till when Ibrahim Babangida annulled the 1983 free and fair election, Nigeria had a remarkable foreign policy. Now, there is an unmistakable disconnect between President Tinubu and the rest of the country over the Nigerien coup. To excuse this disconnect, Tinubu makes it appear that he is following whatever ECOWAS decides. That is an abomination for Nigeria is supposed to provide the lead for ECOWAS, to guide its footsteps, help foot its bills, and help the majority Francophone countries in it to see things through the African eyes, instead of doing the bidding of France.
