ECOWAS GIVES NIGER JUNTA SEVEN DAYS TO QUIT, RELEASE AND REINSTATE PRESIDENT BAZOUM

Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS on Sunday in Abuja called for the immediate release and reinstatement of President Mohamed Bazoum as the legitimate Head of State and Government of the Republic of Niger.

In a communique at the end of the Extraordinary Summit on Socio-Political Situation in the Republic of Niger read by the President, ECOWAS Commission, Dr Omar Touray, the leaders also rejected any form of purported resignation by President Bazoum and declared him as the only recognised and elected President by ECOWAS, the African Union and the international community.

‘‘In this regard, only official acts of President Bazoum or his duly-mandated officials will be recognized by ECOWAS,’’ they said.

The leaders expressed strong condemnation of the attempted overthrow of constitutional order in Niger, and the illegal detention of President Bazoum, as well as members of his family and government.

They demanded full restoration of constitutional order in the Republic of Niger and considered the illegal detention of President Mohamed Bazoum as a hostage situation, holding the authors of the attempted coup d’état solely and fully responsible for his safety and security and that of his family and government.

In the event, ECOWAS' demands are not met within one week, the leaders said they would take all measures necessary to restore constitutional order in the Republic of Niger.

"Such measures may include the use of force for this effect, the Chiefs of Defence staff of ECOWAS are to meet immediately,’’ the leaders said.

ECOWAS leaders also condemned the pronouncement of support by foreign governments and foreign private military contractors, while expressing appreciation to various governments and partners for their stance and solidarity.

The Summit hosted by President Bola Tinubu, in his capacity as the Chairperson of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, also agreed to appoint and dispatch a Special Representative to deliver the demands of the authority.

In response to the coup attempt, the Summit announced immediate sanctions on Niger including the closure of land and air borders between ECOWAS countries and Niger, establishing a no-fly zone on all commercial flights to and from Niger, and suspending all commercial and financial transactions between ECOWAS Member States and Niger.

Furthermore, assets of the Republic of Niger in ECOWAS Central Bank, Niger state enterprises, and parastatals in commercial banks will be frozen.

Niger will also be suspended from all financial assistance and transactions with financial institutions within ECOWAS.

Additionally, travel bans and assets freezes were imposed on the military officials  involved in the coup attempt, as well as their family members and civilians who accept to participate in any institution or government established by these military officials.

In his closing remarks to the Summit, President Tinubu thanked fellow leaders, Moussa Faki Mahamat, the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson, the Special Representative of the Secretary -General and Head of the United Nations Office in West Africa and the Sahel, Leonardo Santos Simaõ, for their active engagement and invaluable contributions to the discussions.

‘‘As we come close to this Extraordinary Summit on the socio- political situation in the Republic of Niger, I send my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your active engagement in our open and closed door meeting.

‘‘Your invaluable contributions to our discussions have got us this far and hopefully, we will achieve our objective.

‘‘The essence of African unity and solidarity is hereby reaffirmed. Our unwavering commitment to democracy, peace and prosperity is hereby resolved.

‘‘Throughout our deliberations, we have recognized that the challenges faced by Niger are inter connected with broader issues affecting our region.

‘‘As African leaders, it is our shared responsibility to foster stability and progress, placing the wellbeing of our people at the forefront of our endeavours, and working together towards their prosperity and happiness must always consistently, be our goals and consistently.

‘‘We will stand with our people in freedom and our commitment to the rule of law and not the barrel of gun. Africa has come of age.

‘‘We reject coup and interruption to constitutional order. Thank you for coming,’’ he said.

Before the Summit, the President also held bilateral meetings with President Umaro Sissoco Embalo of Guinea Bissau, President Mahmat Iddris Deby Itno of Chad, and Michael Health, the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of African Affairs.

Presidents Patrice Talon of Benin Republic,  Alassane Ouattara of Cote d'Ivoire, Adama Barrow of The Gambia, Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana, Embalo of Guinea Bissau, Macky Sall of Senegal, Faure Gnassingbé of Togo attended the Summit while the Presidents of Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger and  Sierra Leone were represented.

In the face of challenges, the resilience of Nigerians shine bright, and together, we are embracing a future of renewed hope and possibility. With the introduction of the Infrastructure Support Fund, the declaration of a state of emergency on food security, and the thoughtful suspension/deferral of certain taxes, it is our desire to ignite the flames of progress in our beloved Country. Let us stand united in this journey, empowering each other to build a nation that shines with boundless potential. We are with you! Nigeria is on the path to prosperity.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

I strongly welcome and support the leadership of ECOWAS Heads of State and Governments to defend constitutional order in Niger. The legitimate, democratically-elected government must be reinstated immediately.

I’m grateful to my distinguished colleagues for the honour of being elected as the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) at the 63rd Ordinary Session that took place today in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau.

The development is a noteworthy affirmation of Nigeria’s continued leadership in the sub-region and the African continent. As Chairman of the important coalition, I renew my dedication and that of our nation to the cause of peace and progress as we foster the collaboration and commitment required to tackle trans-border issues of security, economic growth and sustainable development.

The Bolt driver who took me home said he had to go to Mararaba to buy fuel. He bought fuel at BOVAS filling station at N195. I was not surprised. That’s the BOVAS culture. BOVAS is owned by a very honest Nigerian couple known for their integrity.

The husband, Arc. (PDG) Bamidele O. Samson is Board Chairman and co-owner while the wife, Dr. Victoria A. Samson ( BOVAS: Bamidele O Victoria A Samson) is Managing Director and co-owner. This couple have never joined the oil marketers cabal to sabotage Nigerians, ever. It’s never happened.

May they always be content with the godly profits they make. May they remain prosperous, and May their Seeds be forever blessed! Let’s make Nigerians know and appreciate their patriotism!

@shamsudeen_bala Voters intimidation and ballot snatching plus other electoral crimes contributed to this low numbers reported. Don’t believe for a minute that for this elections Nigerians were so engaged the numbers will be this low. False narrative by the umpires.

President Muhammadu Buhari orders CBN to release the old N200 note into circulation until April 10, 2023, when it will stop being legal tender. He says Nigerians should return all old N1,000 and N500 to the bank.

We are delighted that Starlink services have been deployed in Nigeria, making us the first African country — and the only one so far — to enjoy this rollout. With this deployment of Starlink, we now have 100 percent broadband penetration in Nigeria.
