Niger Coup: Buhari expresses shock, tells President Tinubu what to do
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has described the recent coup d’etat in Niger State as the most shocking incident in recent times.
The former president, in a tweet on Friday, sympathised with the ousted president of the country, Bazoum, urging President Bola Tinubu to find ways to resolve the crisis and ensure the safety of Bazoum and his family.
Tweeting, Buhari wrote: “As to be expected, I, like millions of other Nigerians, am shocked by the latest turn of events in Niger Republic.
“Concerns have been raised about the fate of democracy as a system of government in the country and in the wider sub-region, and equally so, about the safety of President Mohammed Bazoum and his family.
“I and my family are as much concerned about these as is everyone else.
“It is heartening to note that the ECOWAS, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is already dealing effectively with the matter, and our hope and prayers are that the unwanted situation will be completely reversed, and the safety and wellbeing of President Bazoum and his family ensured
