Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, the CNG’s spokesperson in a statement on Friday in Abuja, said, “We emphatically repudiate any form of preference for military action against Niger or any other West African or African nation by any regional or international community/institution”.

The CNG further demanded that both the military authorities in Niger and the ECOWAS open and allow all doors for discussions devoid of any hidden agenda or unnecessary preconditions for genuine dialogue.

The Coalition kicked against the burning of the Nigerian flag in Niger and also the ridiculing of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Nigeriens, and demanded that the military junta orders a stop to it.

“Hence, their intervention, exclamations and actions in the affairs of the continent should not be drawn to discountenance the effort of African to protect its citizens and to impose law and order.

“It is important to call the attention of the entire international community/organisations to weigh the impact and consequence of a destabilized West African subregion which will certainly threaten the peace and security of the entire Africa.

“Any breakdown of law and order will only compound the security and humanitarian situations in the region, especially in Mali, Libya etc. This will further worsen the continent, disrupt international cohesion, compound the despondent cases of human trafficking, migration and other challenges the continent and the world are now facing.

“Lastly, the CNG wishes to make a special appeal to political, religious, traditional and cultural leaders across the West African subregion to urgently intervene by impressing the need for a window for serious negotiations to be provided”.
