President Bola Tinubu has been cautioned by former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani not to go to war against the Republic of Niger in order to restore democracy.
Sani said: “The reported Nigerian alleged tampering with electricity supply to Niger Republic is wrong.”
“We must not use power supplies as a means of political blackmail.”
“It will not change anything. If Niger decides to build their power station across their part of the River Niger, our Kainji Dam will be rendered useless.”
“President Tinubu and ECOWAS leaders should allow the people of Niger to decide on how they want their country to be governed.”
“Don’t be instigated by France to go to war that we don’t need.”
“When we had military regime, we fought to free ourselves; let them make their decisions.”
