FG reacts to claims Nigeria is working with France to destabilize Niger Republic.
Photo credit: Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TinubuSource: FacebookThese claims exist solely in the realm of imagination, as Nigeria has never engaged in any overt or covert alliance with Franceor any other countryto sponsor terrorist attacks or destabilise the Niger Republic in the wake of the undemocratic change in the leadership of that country.President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), as Chairman of ECOWAS, has demonstrated exemplary leadership, keeping the doors of the sub-regional body open to re-engaging Niger Republic despite the political situation in the country. Nigeria remains committed to fostering peace, harmony, and historic diplomatic ties with Niger.The claims about the alleged establishment of a so-called Lakurawa terrorist headquarters in Sokoto state, purportedly orchestrated by Nigeria in collaboration with France, are baseless. Nigeria has been a regional leader in combating terrorism, dedicating significant resources and lives to ensure stability in the Lake Chad Basin and beyond.How can a government actively fighting the Lakurawa menace now be accused of harbouring the same group within its borders? These accusations lack credible evidence and seem to be part of a broader attempt to deflect attention from Nigers internal challenges, he added.In conclusion, President Tchianis allegations are not only unfounded but also a dangerous attempt to divert attention from his administrations shortcomings.Nigeria remains committed to fostering regional stability and will continue to lead efforts to address terrorism and other transnational challenges. We urge Niger to focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration rather than peddling baseless accusations.
