Niger Coup: Nigeria's Izala group admonish ECOWAS on amicable resolution

Niger Coup: Nigeria's Izala group admonish ECOWAS on amicable resolution
The leader of Izala sect (JIBWIS) in Nigeria, Sheikh Bala Lau has counselled the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to ensure a peaceful resolution of the current diplomatic tensions in Republic of Niger.

The Islamic scholar, who made this known in Abuja on Thursday, explained that achieving peace in Niger will impact positively on all its African neighbours.

The JIBWIS leader disclosed that the sect has welcomed the decision of President Bola Tinubu – who doubles as ECOWAS Chairman, of sending a powerful delegation of former President Abdussalami Abubakar and Sultan Saad Abubakar, among others, to work for a peaceful resolution.

Sheikh Lau went on to say that the idea of a military action against the coupists of Republic of Niger would not augur well for both the country and her neighbours,  “especially immediate neighbours like Nigeria, which has built strong diplomatic, cultural and religious bond with Niamey for decades”.

ECOWAS had last weekend issued a seven-day ultimatum to military leaders who overthrew the democratically-elected government in Niger to return power to elected officials or risk the full wrath of the regional body, including the use of military force.

The threat was followed by a meeting of defence chiefs of ECOWAS in Abuja in preparation for the enforcement of no flight zone imposed on Niger and other military action.

BELLO EL-RUFAI THE BESPECTACLED PYGMY . By Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight) It is disheartening, Bello El-Rufai, as a federal lawmaker, entrusted with representing the people, for resorting such behaviour, attempting to obstruct the lawful functions of the kaduna State House of Assembly. Your attempts Bello, intimidation, threats or your erratic and unruly actions will not stop the kaduna legislatives  to investigate financial dealings, loans, grants, and projects implementation from 2015-2023 in Kaduna State,  Bello El-Rufai, you should go ahead with your threat. A word is enough for you, your father, and family all, if you are wise. It is very unfortunate that your biological father, Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai is the worse thing that ever happened to Kaduna State. The man that plunged the state in deep fire but God pass the idiot.  Our greatest pain is that there were few people that never saw anything bad about all the nefarious activities of that satanic agent ...

Chaos in the Mines: Exposing the Irregularities at Nigeria's Mining Cadastre Office …The Chinese Connection: Unraveling Foreign Influence in Nigeria's Mining Sector By Steven Kefas (Kaduna, Nigeria), In the heart of Nigeria's capital, Abuja, stands an unassuming building that houses the Mining Cadastre Office (MCO), an agency under the Ministry of Solid Mineral Development.
