Niger coup: Tinubu meets Abdulsalami, Ribadu, others

President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with some critical stakeholders in the ECOWAS intervention in Niger Republic impasse as part of efforts to defuse the political crisis.

Tinubu is the chairman of the Authority of the Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States.

Attending the ongoing meeting taking place at State House, Abuja, were the President of the ECOWAS Commission, Dr Omar Touray; leader of the ECOWAS delegation to Niger Republic’s military junta, former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), and the National Security Adviser to the President, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

ECOWAS had earlier rejected a transition time table of three years out forward by the Nigerien coupists.
