Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has challenged the decision of ECOWAS spearheaded by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to launch military attack against the military junta in Nger Republic.
In a video posted on his twitter handle, @OUKtweets, Senator Kalu said that no Nigerian soldier should die in Niger Republic because of war.
According to him, “fighting a war in Niger Republic is not necessary as no one is sure of the sponsors and how it would end”.
He tweeted:
“Niger Republic is at our backyard and Nigeria should not join ECOWAS’ plan of military invasion. If the US, France, and UK want war in Niger, they can send their own people.
“Nigeria can support with finance but not with our soldiers. No Nigerian soldier deserves to die in another country because of war.
“Fighting a war in Niger Republic is not necessary as no one is sure of the sponsors and how it would end.
“Nigeria, US, and France can intervene in Niger by giving them between one year and six months to hand over to a new government. If ECOWAS…”
