President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to pursuing diplomatic solutions to the political impasse in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, ensuring that innocent citizens are not made to bear the brunt of the actions of military regimes.
He said the leadership of the three countries had been reluctant to bring out transition programmes with clear dates.
Tinubu, who is the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State, however, stated that the regional bloc was poised to prioritise the interest and welfare of the citizens in the countries, affirming that wisdom and diplomacy would make the difference in reintegrating the countries into the commission.
According to a statement yesterday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu spoke when he received the President of Germany, Frank–Walter Steinmeier, in a state visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
