The General Abdourahmane Tchiani-led military junta in the Republic of Niger is planning on recalling the Nigerien Ambassador to Nigeria after failing to come to terms with the delegation of the Economic Community of West African States, on the return of democracy in Niger.

The junta is also planning to recall Nigerien Ambassadors to Togo, the United States, and France, as it pushes to evict French and US troops in the country, while declaring an end to all Memorandum of Understanding between France and the Republic of Niger.

Defence sources privy to the ongoing meeting in Niamey, the Niger capital confirmed the development to our correspondent Friday morning.

“The ongoing negotiation has failed. The junta has declared that it’ll recall Niger’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Togo, France, and the US,” an impeccable defence source said in a terse message sent to our correspondent Friday morning.

“The junta has just announced that it’ll evict French and US troops in Niger Republic, noting that all MoU agreements between France and Niger has ended,” another source privy to the development noted.

The military junta in Niger led by Tchiani, the former Head of Presidential Guard to the hoisted President, Mohamed Bazoum, detained Bazoum in a palace coup on July 26, 2023, while Tchiani later declared himself Head of State.

In an attempt to resolve the political crisis in the Niger Republic, the ECOWAS on Thursday dispatched two missions abroad, with the mandate to achieving a resolution to ending the crisis.

While the first delegation led by former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.), led the engagement with the coupists and other parties in the Nigerien impasse in the country’s capital, Niamey; another delegation, led by Ambassador Babagana Kingibe led the engagement with the leaders of Libya and Algeria concerning the Niger crisis.

A statement on Thursday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, Chairman of the ECOWAS’ Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Bola Tinubu, who dispatched both teams on the mission, charged the General Abubakar’s team with a mandate to expeditiously resolve the crisis in the troubled country.

The mission to Niger Republic which departed for Niamey immediately after President Tinubu’s briefing, was in line with the resolution reached at the end of the extraordinary summit of the ECOWAS held last weekend at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The former Nigerian Head of State is joined in the delegation by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III and the President of the ECOWAS Commission, Omar Alieu Touray.

Briefing the two delegations, President Tinubu charged them to engage all stakeholders robustly with a view to doing whatever it takes to ensure a conclusive and amicable resolution of the situation in Niger for the purposes of African peace and development rather than a move to adopt the geopolitical positions of other nations.

“We don’t want to hold brief for anybody. Our concern is democracy and the peace of the region,” the President said.

Speaking after the meeting, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.) said the delegation would meet the coup leaders in Niger to present the demands of the ECOWAS leadership.

Both leaders of the two missions expressed optimism about the outcome of the assignments.

Speaking to journalists before departing the Villa for Niamey, former Head of State, General Abubakar, revealed the task his team was charged with, which he said was to express the displeasure of the leaders of the subregion with the developments in Niger to those who hijacked power in the country.

“We have just been given our marching orders to go to Niger and convey the feelings of our heads of state in the region that they are not happy with what happened. And they gave them an ultimatum that the coupists should desist from what they are doing and give back power to an elected President and again, to make sure that this message is sent loud and clear to them.

“That’s what we are here for. So far, we are going there to convey this message to them and hear their response and report back what they have said”, Abubakar said.

Kingibe said talking with Libya and Algeria, two countries bordering Niger to the North, will stimulate the solidarity required for peaceful talks.

“Of course, this kind of situation requires solidarity. It requires coordination with all parties that are relevant to the situation.

“In that regard, Libya and Algeria are also very important neighbours of Niger. So, my mission is to go there with a message from President Tinubu. To brief them on the ECOWAS position and solicit solidarity and cooperation,” he said.

He expressed optimism that the talks will avert a possible military intervention saying, “We hope to find a diplomatic solution. Nobody wants to go to war, especially with neighbourly, brotherly people across the border with whom we share a common language, culture and religion.”

Tinubu will burn down Nigera

Oga leave Niger and fix the problems ravaging Nigeria

Too many issues at home

Is Tinubu alright at all?

And beside you cut their light before sending first delegation. Who does that?
Mugu man

Abi baba is afraid of coup in nigeria ni. Lol. If you perform well there won't be coup but if you keep leading the counter astray....you are on your own

I'm beginning to sense some kind of Russian influence in the coups happening in Africa especially of recent. Something is actually going on behind the scene that no one knows.

The world is getting more divided than ever, the 3rd world war is actually going to happen. My advice to Tinubu is to ignore this Niger Republic because the way it's going now, I don't think Nigeria have any air defence system against any missile.

Apc says Nigeria is a sovereign state that international body cannot detect to us how to run our affairs, cus EU faulted the just concluded general elections. So, Niger republic is a sovereign state as well external bodies including Nigeria should stay off their affairs.

Just imagine the shamelessness and embarrassment in trying to mediated in the sovereign affair of a country by democratic coupists.

Senioreddy:

Good if that can sanitize their country of corruption

Tinubu will remove the idiots. Just watch it. You will see why he is called the JAGABAN

Tinubu should not set the whole ECOWAS on fire. He is a place holder

You need psychiatric evaluation

When Tinubu deploys our military to Niger Republic to remove the idiots there, you can go and fight on the side of the Coupists just as you did in Ukraine

Seefinish:

Trust the JAGABAN. He doesn't care, he will do the right thing

Thanks bro....
But when you say so his senseless supporters will tag you unpatriotic or enemies of Nigeria.
We have too many problems in Nigeria to solve and yet we want to show our prowess by fighting or threatening Niger.
Here in Nigeria we have uncountable problems from terrorism,militancy, secession,banditry and the likes.
While our people die every day our problem na to chook mouth for another sovereign nation matter, shebi we no get boundaries?
Our so called gallant military have not been able to defeat all this menace and yet we want to help another country return to democracy.
Have our own democracy worked all this years?

Chad dealt with Boko Haram two seconds and yet Nigeria have been fighting since I don't know.

I remember when I use to defend Nigeria with all my heart anytime me and my elder brother argued, he used to give me many reasons why he said what he said but I always objected.
Now it is becoming clearer by the day in my eyes that I was just wishing and reality was far from my eyes.

NB: History has it that America withdrew from Vietnam not beacuse they where losing but beacuse it was much more expensive to continue a war without end in sight.
The financial, emotional and psychological demerits was too much to keep on.
You want to fight a man on his own turf?

This is for those who are too dumb to understand what war is.

One thing that the Niger coup leaders find most abhorrable is that an illegitimate idiot is the one trying to lecture them on legitimacy. Lol!

Nigeria has never been this disrespected.

And it’s the corollary of supporting a drug lord to power. Power he did not even win but was maliciously rigged into.

I hope the fools supporting him are happy 😏

Nobody respects Tinubu the mumu president. To think there was a time we had a strong personality like Obj who was respect even beyond Africa as Ecowas president.
Tinubu na mumu man.

Dreams and nightmares

Sometimes it's best to leave a people to themselves. One would think that they end was certain for Zimbabwe after being rule by Mogabe for a generation but that's no the case now. We should not fear to be truly independent. They might come out a better and stronger nation in the future.

This one is still shouting IPOB. People of Niger are united. It's not Nigeria that useless people have their way through anti igbo propaganda
