Daniel Bwala, an aide to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to learn from Washington in the way it is dealing with the chaos in Niger Republic.
Bwala stated that Washington till date has refused to refer to the unrest in Niger Republic as a coup.
The PDP stalwart opined that if Washington should admit that there is a coup going on in the embattled country then it would have to stop military assistance, technical support and diplomatic relations.
Bwala insisted that Washington refusal to acknowledge the coup was because it wanted to explore all diplomatic measures.
He urged ECOWAS to also take a page from their book.
Speaking via Twitter, he wrote, “Interesting facts. Up till now Washington refused to declare what happened in Niger as a coup, because if it did, it will automatically stop military assistance, technical support and diplomatic relations. It says Washington refused to declare it a coup so they can explore all diplomatic options. This is a lesson for the loud mouth ECOWAS.”
