Reactions: The tribunal will suffer set back
Nigerians are not smiling at all, let’s have a look at some of the comments:
@bornstuni:If war eventually happens the case before the tribunal will suffer set back. The technicalities they couldn’t use defending the results at the tribunal is what will be used by activating the war. Once theres war in Niger the rest na story for justice and mandate
@lyon:This is absurd how can a seating president make decisions without considering the impact on citizens.
@victor: The biggest mistake Tinubu will make will be allow himself be used for a proxy West vs Russia fight in Niger.Was there no ECOWAS when there were coups in Burkina Faso and Mali?
So this is the normal ‘Democray’ government toppling that will leave the region in ruins.
