The Federal Republic of Nigeria through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reaffirmed its commitment to peace, stability, and regional harmony in West Africa.
The assurance followed a recent statement from President of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland of Niger, Abdourahman Tchiani, who alleged that the Nigerian government was colluding with France to destabilise his country.
Recall that Tchiani in a viral video alleged that France was financially supporting Nigerian authorities to establish a military base in Borno State, which he claimed would destabilize Niger Republic.
Reacting to the matter, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar in a statement today assured that Nigeria remains steadfast in its desire for dialogue which are the cornerstones of sustainable solutions.
The Minister stated that Nigeria has no plans to embark on any actions that would undermine the sovereignty and security of Niger as alleged by Tchiani.
