The Nigerian Senate rejected Tinubu's request to send troops to Niger
The senators asked President Tinubu to continue using the legal method to overcome the crisis that Niger has fallen into as a result of the military coup last week.
The members of the Nigerian Senate have rejected the request of President Bola Tinubu to seek their approval to send the troops of the Republic of Niger.
They took the decision in a private meeting on Saturday.
The senators asked President Tinubu to continue using the legal method to overcome the crisis in Niger as a result of the military coup last week.
They also condemned the military coup in the country and vowed to work with the president to resolve the problem "in cold water."
On Friday, the President of Nigeria wrote a letter to the Senate asking for its approval to take military action against the forces that overthrew the government of Mohamed Bazoum.
Since then, the senators of the northern part of the country have expressed their opposition to the naming issue saying that this will cause serious problems in the northern part of the country whose seven states are neighboring the Republic of Niger.
