It’s treasonable to deploy Nigerian Army to Niger without senate approval — MBF

..cautions troops deployment would worsen economic hardship in Nigeria

..insists Nigeria cannot afford to fight a proxy war


The Middle Belt Forum, MBF, has warned that it will amount to a treasonable offence to deploy Nigerian troops to Niger Republic without the approval of the Nigerian Senate.

The MBF also cautioned that any deployment of Nigerian troops at this particular time would further squeeze the Nigerian economy and worsen the hardship being faced by Nigeria.

The National President of MBF, Dr. Bitrus Pogu who made this known while reacting to the supposed order by ECOWAS for the deployment of troops to oust the military junta in Niger Republic cautioned that Nigeria should not be dragged into any form of proxy war in the neighbouring country.

Hear him: “To me the entire thing playing out as regards Niger Republic is like a double standard.

“Many things have happened in ECOWAS including those that have happened that were unconstitutional based on extant national laws. For instance today the constitution of our country is being challenged by the reason of the last election we had. Nobody came in to say that the provisions of the constitution has to be adhered to. You cannot just swear in somebody when certain conditions are not met. That was not done.

“Again there are countries in West Africa that the military took over governance and they the military at still in government and ECOWAS did not say anything. Why is the issue of Niger being giving so much attention, why the double standards?

“So there is something fishy in this whole thing. And as a country, more than 50 percent of the people of Niger are Hausas. And they have their kith and kin in Nigeria.

“That is why we must weigh this thing very carefully. But in the long run our already bad economy will worsen if such a war takes place, because Nigeria will be at the receiving end both ways. So it is not advisable; maybe they are being instigated by the West, we are not supposed to be fighting proxy or western wars for them.

Security: Don't disappoint Nigerians on sacred trust repose on you — Tinubu tells cadets
“Let fight their war; we have been suffering from Boko Haram for years now and nobody came in to assist. We shouldn’t delve into problems and issues that do not concern us.

“Moreover the Nigerian troops cannot be deployed outside the shores of this country without the approval of the Senate. Based on our current laws, the President cannot just deploy our troops. Recall that the President had earlier approached the Senate for deployment and the Senate refused. So for him to by- the Senate to do that will be a reasonable offence. So it is unfortunate if the President deploys Nigerian troops to participate under whatever guise, whether ECOWAS guise or whatever without the approval of our Senate.”

Ebola Tinubu begs to disagree...

He has to do the bidding of his western bosses so they don't spread his dirty linen in public.

We trust the discretion of ECOWAS leader, His Excellency, Senator Bolanle Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

I dedicate “YAYA” by Black Sheriff to Jagaban. Great jam!

Ebola Tinubu is heading for doom. His urchinss are so myopic to not see it

Make una relax. There ain't gonna be no war.
North, MBF, SS, SE are not ready for any war.
And you think agbado munchers can go fight war?

Note: If you wake up to hear agbado munchers beating drums of war, just go back to sleep. ~IBB

ECOWAS standby Millitary not Nigerian Army per se

When they kick out this old cartel baggy man from office, make nobody talk anyhow..... He is deploying troops with Senate Approval. Would POTUS do such without the express approval of the US Congress? Not one bit! He reeks of Illegality and wants to restore legality...

Unfortunately for you, the deployment of troops is not at his discretion.
But on matters of whether you get 8k or 30k, he has full discretion. You can trust that

Snoring President E-Bola Tinubu won't listen

Baba Bulaba committed the most treasonable offence when he stole the hopes and dreams of 200m Nigerians. His being on the throne (temporarily) is an act of treason itself.

Jagaban is the best president ever!

Patiently and quietly watching....

yh, just like nnamdi Azikiwe, the west have their hands on tinubus balls hence the reason why they guide his nefarious activities from reaching the public space to hold it against him. Ebola will go to war with or without senate approval and na the hausa & yoruba wey full army go die .

jeromestarks:
Jagaban is the best president ever!

In your dreams.

Opinion or fact?


Wittyness

Foolish FG , Stupid Senate, Unprofessional Zombie Army

G

The president will not even try that. If he does na wahala he dey find for hinsef.

We no dey military regime. The executive alone does not have the power to do that.

This is the problem with the world in general, you see people dying instead of you to help you pick up your phone start recording, so the Senate want to debate on military activities that needs urgent action.

They thank God say no be OBJ dey power or IBB.
