Nigereins have staged a protest against Nigerian president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is also the head of the Economic Community of West African States(ECOWAS).
Recall that a few days ago, the Exola Tv reported about the military coup in Niger. The coup came a few days after Bola Ahmed Tinubu's takeover of ECOWAS leadership and in his inaugural speech, noted that military coups will not be tolerated across West African States.
The Nigerian government, reportedly backed by Western states, has threatened the current military leadership in Niger of invasion especially as the US president, Joe Biden mandates the immediate release of the deposed president of Niger.
In reaction, the Niger citizens who see military intervention in the leadership of their country as veritable, stage a historic protest in defense of the Nigerein military juntas and against the ECOWAS leadership as well as the Western states.
Meanwhile, Guinea, Mali and Borkina Faso met yesterday to determine how military intervention in Niger by ECOWAS can be resisted by the bloc.
Despite the sanctions imposed on Niger by different blocs and countries, Nigereins and the military leadership appear undeterred.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is described as an enemy of the the country, and taunted as deadly as "ebola" by the protesters.
