The Niger Army will be able to hand over power within 9 months - Tinubu
The President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said that if the soldiers who staged a coup in Niger are honest, within 9 months they can organize an election to return power to the civilian government as was done during the rule of General Abdusalami Abubakar in Nigeria after the death of Sani Abacha.
Tinubu who was speaking when he received a delegation of Nigerian Muslim leaders under the leadership of the Sultan of Islam, Muhammad Saad Abubakar, said the coup in Niger opened the door to what happened in Gabon.
The president said that as Nigeria is a neighbor of Niger, it will never let their relationship be interrupted, while saying that no one needs to go to war because of the effects of the war in Ukraine and Sudan, but it is also necessary to take strong action to avoid the consequences of the action.
Tinubu said that when Abdusalami was in charge of Nigeria in 9 months he organized the election that this democracy was established in 1998 which was successful, therefore there is no reason why the Niger army will not do the same.
The President requested the Sultan to return to Niger to meet again with the soldiers who carried out the coup, because what they did was against the rules, adding that as soon as they do the right thing, they will withdraw the economic sanctions that are causing hardship to the poor people of the country.
