EXPLORE ALL OPTIONS TO RESOLVE THE POLITICAL CRISIS IN NIGER OTHER THAN MILITARY CAMPAIGN: ECOWAS MUST EXERCISE RESTRAINT AND NOT ALLOW THE BODY TO BE USED AS AGENT OF A PROXY WAR BY SUPPORTING THE DESTABILIZATION AND DEPOPULATION OF AFRICA

Introduction

We, the members of the Kano Civil Society Forum, an umbrella body of civil society organizations operating in Kano State working on different areas of development, have resolved to communicate our position to you in your capacity as the Chairman of ECOWAS, on the ongoing political impasse between Niger Military Juntas and ECOWAS under your stewardship. We feel the imperative need to share with you our position, equally in your capacity as the president of the most populous black nation, by lending our voices like other well-meaning Nigerians, bodies, Institutions and organizations vis – a – vis our thought which may likely help in dealing with the current political leadership crisis in Niger Republic

It is our belief that the current political situation in Niger Republic, which was occasioned by the sudden coup d’etat, has been an issue of regional and global concern, considering the magnitude and its attendant consequences on democracy and constitutionalism in Niger Republic as a country that was run by a democratically elected leadership, and the contagious effects the prevailing political circumstances might have on other African countries, including Nigeria.

It is an undisputed reality that, the recent coup d’etat in Niger, would have a far – fetched implications on the campaign for a sustainable democratic governance in Africa, and could also create regression in the struggle to institute civilian rule through popular participation of the citizens in governance, across African continent.

However, it is imperative, to draw the attention of the ECOWAS Heads of States and Government under your able leadership to understand that while trying to restore civilian Government in Niger Republic, there are likely huge consequences with devastating impacts on both Nigerian and Nigerien citizens, should military campaign remain the next action to be deployed by the ECOWAS
