Benin pledges for ECOWAS over Niger

Benin has insisted that diplomacy is the preferred solution to managing the crisis caused by the military coup in Niger.

The country's foreign minister, Olushegun Adjadi Bakari, told reporters his country was demanding the immediate release and reinstatement of President Bazoum.

Bakari also pledged his full for efforts by the west African bloc ECOWAS to resolve the ongoing crisis.

"We are and we fully subscribe to the diplomatic actions that are underway and that remain the preferred solution for the time being," said Bakari.

"But if tomorrow, for whatever reason, whatever action ECOWAS were to take, Benin would in fact be fully involved as a member of ECOWAS. "

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which is chaired by Nigeria, has imposed tough sanctions on Niamey but also sent a delegation to meet junta representatives to reinforce its position.

Bakari added: "So, today, the only thing to is that the president of Niger recognised by ECOWAS, the African Union and the entire international community is President Bazoum.

"President Bazoum is currently being held hostage, and what we want is for him to be reinstated as President of Niger."

ECOWAS states' general chiefs of staff met in Abuja Friday to discuss Niger while several West African states, including Senegal, have pledged to send in troops should the bloc intervene.

Coup leaders have promised to counter such a move.

Niger's neighbours Mali and Burkina Faso, both ruled by army juntas following coups in the past three years and both currently suspended from ECOWAS, have offered backing to Niamey's military leaders.

They will only talk, Niger Delta oil money is the hope to wage the war, Nigeria troops are the ones to bleed, and the burden will still be on the weak shoulders of an old druggie.

During Buhari second tenure, NNPC didn't remit anything into federation . If the oil you are talking about is the life line of Nigeria existence, then Nigeria should have collapse by now

So, where were they remitting the money ?

Why won’t Benin 🇧🇯 ECOWAS?

Isn’t that why the urine-dispensing senile idiot went to their Independence Day celebration with a whole 6 governors to go and beg Beninoise President to help save him from further embarrassment by aligning with whatever he decides as ECOWAS chair?

But even at that, the Beninoise Foreign Affairs Minister is insisting that his country prefers a diplomatic solution (what sane Nigerians have been shouting for) over the brutish and foolish invasion of Niger as proposed by Ebola all in the name to impress the West and buy legitimacy.

Oh Mother Nigeria! How thou hast been ridiculed by a urine-dispensing criminal who insisted on grabbing power!

So, where were they remitting the money if not the private purses of the crooks in government who paid for running of governmentfrom their pockets? Do you even have sense at all?

The money was used to pay subsidy of refined imported petrol

It got to a point when the crude oil was used in exchange for refined petrol. So under Buhari second term, he sells crude to receive refined petrol. No money
