Details Of Punishments Emerge As Tinubu Moves To Unleash Troops On Niger Coup Leaders

Details of other punishments have emerged as Tinubu moves to unleash troops on Niger Coup plotters.

News ToGo gathered that President Bola Tinubu wrote to the Senate, seeking its support for military intervention and various measures to address the political situation in the Niger Republic. Following the overthrow of Niger’s democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, by his guards, Tinubu, who is also the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), convened a meeting with fellow regional leaders to discuss restoring democracy in Niger.

In his letter, Tinubu expressed ECOWAS’s condemnation of the coup and the collective desire to reinstate the democratically elected government to restore peace. The proposed measures include a military buildup and deployment of personnel to enforce compliance with the military junta in Niger if they remain recalcitrant. Additionally, the president seeks to close and monitor all land borders with the Niger Republic and reactivate border drilling exercises.

Tinubu also requested support for cutting off electricity supply to the Niger Republic and mobilizing international backing for the implementation of ECOWAS’s communique. To further apply pressure, he suggested preventing the operation of commercial and special flights into and from Niger and the blockade of goods in transit, particularly from Lagos and eastern seaports.

Furthermore, Tinubu informed the Senate about the country’s efforts to sensitize both Nigerians and Nigeriens about the necessity of these actions, particularly through social media channels.

The situation in Niger remains a matter of concern for ECOWAS, and the proposed measures aim to exert diplomatic and economic pressure on the military junta to reinstate the democratically elected government. The support from the Nigerian Senate is crucial in implementing these measures and fostering regional stability and democracy.

BREAKING: Tinubu's Minister Who Collapsed During Screening Reveals Why

Tinubu’s Minister who collapsed during Senate screening has revealed why it happened.

News ToGo reports that Abbas Balarabe, the newly confirmed Minister from Kaduna State, has clarified the reason behind his collapse during his Senate screening. He explained that his fainting spell was due to sheer exhaustion as he had been informed of his nomination just the previous day and stayed awake all night preparing for the screening.

Overwhelmed by the workload and lack of rest, he slumped during the session. He expressed his gratitude to the Senate, especially the senators from his state, Kaduna, for their understanding and support. Balarabe assured everyone that he was now in good health, emphasizing that his collapse was solely due to exhaustion and nothing more.

Earlier during his screening, the nominee, who had replaced former Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai, had suddenly collapsed, causing a temporary commotion in the Senate.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
