Nigerian President Bola Tinubu said a swift, peaceful restoration of democratic order in neighboring Niger is crucial and that he is pushing back against pressure to apply military force.
“Even as of this morning, I have been inundated with phone calls on the readiness of countries with their military force and contributions,” Tinubu, who is also the chairman of the Economic Community of West African States, said Thursday in the capital, Abuja. “I am the one holding back Ecowas.”
The organization has prioritized diplomacy as it vows to overturn the coup, saying it stands ready to use force if talks fail. Other partners — who are outside of Ecowas’ control — are ready to act, Tinubu said.
