President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has rejected overtures by the head of the military junta Niger Republic, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, to have direct access and discussion with him.According to an online platform, Empowered Newswire, diplomatic sources said that consenting to such direct one-on-one talks is both an assault on democratic governance in the region and a disrespect to the still detained Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum.
In the meeting held in Abuja on August 24, the sources said President Tinubu point blank ruled out any such interaction with the head of an illegal government that came to power through a military coup. While many in the African diplomatic community are of the view that President Tinubu's rejection of a direct talk with Tchiani at this point would indeed be a bad signal, with the impasse over the Niger crisis persisting without much hope of resolution.
