Nigeria/Niger face-off: We stand by regional harmony – Foreign Affairs minister
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.
DAILY POST recalls 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 on Tuesday 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.
According to the Minister, Nigeria and Niger share deep historical and cultural ties, underscored by trade and economic interdependence, stressing that the enduring connections are “reminders of our intrinsically linked destinies”.
”Therefore, unfounded allegations raise needless tensions that could cause disaffection and threaten the collective progress of our region.
“We reaffirm our respect for Niger’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in alignment with ECOWAS principles.
“We welcome and encourage open, constructive dialogue between our governments and invite Niger’s leadership to join us in candid discussions to address mutual concerns.
“We are prepared to explore confidence-building measures, such as collective support, to alleviate the humanitarian impact on our border communities.
“We call upon regional and international partners to support efforts aimed at fostering reconciliation and stability, rather than deepening divisions.
“Nigeria remains guided by the principles of diplomacy, mutual respect, and the pursuit of peace. We are confident that through constructive engagement, we can work together towards a more prosperous and stable future for our people”.
