Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Northern Senators in the 10th National Assembly have cautioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against using military intervention in resolving the crisis in Niger.<\/p>\n

Sen. Suleiman Sumaila, the spokesperson for Northern Senators Forum, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

The group of Senators urged the President to adopt political and diplomatic means to restore democratic government in Niger.<\/p>\n

According to NSF, military intervention in Niger would affect Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Zamfara, Jigawa, Yobe and Borno.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe emphasis, however, should be on political and diplomatic means to restore democratic government in the Niger Republic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also take exception to the use of military force until other avenues, as mentioned above, are exhausted, as the consequences will be casualties among the innocent citizens who do their daily business. Besides, about seven northern states with a border with the Niger Republic will be negatively affected, namely Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Zamfara, Jigawa, Yobe and Borno\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Niger military junta severed diplomatic ties with Nigeria after the ECOWAS envoy sent to the country to broker peace failed to achieve a result.<\/p>\n

Last month, a military junta toppled Niger\u2019s democratically elected President, Mohamed Bazoum.<\/p>\n

Tension continues to mount in the West African region.<\/p>\n
