Niger: Military Intervention An ECOWAS Affair, Says Presidential Aide

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, has said that the announced planned military intervention against the Niger coup leaders is purely an affair of the Economic Community of West African States and not a decision of President Bola Tinubu or Nigeria.

Ajayi disclosed this in a statement shared on X app formerly known as Twitter on Friday.

He wrote, "There is no doubt that the Northern region,  especially the people of Fulani ethnic stock share filial, cultural and religious affiliations with the Republic of Niger. 

"The attempt by some religious and political leaders from the North to make the current political impasse in the Republic of Niger a President Tinubu and Nigeria vs Niger affair is a very wrong narrative. Nigeria is not starting a war with Niger. Nigeria as a member of ECOWAS is under obligation to stand by ECOWAS Resolutions on any member state and this is not the first time this will happen. ECOWAS passed similar Resolutions on the Gambia not too long ago. That resolution in Gambia made it possible for President Adama Barrow to assume power in 2017.

"It must be said again that this is not a Nigeria/Tinubu vs Republic of Niger matter. Like President Alassane Quattara of Ivory Coast said, this is purely an ECOWAS affair and a subject of regional interest to the whole of West Africa. 

"ECOWAS, AU, and UN Protocols are against the unconstitutional takeover of government in any country. Democracy is receding in West Africa with Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea under military usurpation. Peace, security, and political and economic stability in West Africa will remain a pipe dream when soldiers can take power at will. And what is happening in Niger is not about a fight for good governance. 

"Like venerable journalist, Dan Agbese wrote in his Guardian Newspaper back page column, "most of the nine countries in the Sahel region are not just poor; they are wretched. Military rule has not changed their economic and social circumstances and the attraction for it ought to have waned below remembrance. The sentiment that military rule is a magic wand has repeatedly proved itself a sickening fiction. The Nigeriens need no one to tell them that khaki uniform carries no magic in political, economic, and social management and development."

"If military rule offers any silver bullet in social and economic transformation, we should have seen the magic in Mali and Burkina Faso in the last 3 years."

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
