ECOWAS Calls For Caution In Niger Crisis, As Nigerian Emerges WAANSA W’African Vice Chairman
Commission on Peace security and Political Affairs has concluded the regional congress of West Africa Action Network on Small Arms, WAANSA, in Dakar, Senegal, with the objective of mobilising, facilitating engaging with civil societies working on small arms and light weapons control in a keenly contested election.
In the election, a Nigerian, Comrade Martin Igwe, former national secretary of National Association of Nigeria Students, emerged regional vice president while Mr Ntaye Aka from Cote d’Ivoire emerged the overall regional president.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Igwe appealed to the ECOWAS chairman and president of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to trade with caution in addressing political developments in Niger Republic.
According to Igwe, historically, small arms proliferation in West Africa was made worse by the spillover of conflict in Libya, “hence with the present economic hardships coupled with pockets of conflict in Nigeria, caution remains the best word as we cannot afford to creat worse problem in pursuit of solution to political crises in Niger.”
The regional congress played host to many international donor agencies like GIZ MAG and others, with Senegalese government represented by Colonel A Usmane from the Ministry of Defense.

Joel Ajayi
President Bola Tinubu has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, political leaders and their supporters in Rivers State to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law.
In response to recent tensions following last Saturday’s local government council election, the President expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.
He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.
President Tinubu directed the police to restore and maintain peace, law, and order immediately.
While instructing law enforcement agencies to bring the situation under control, he emphasised the need to ensure the security of public institutions.
President Tinubu said government facilities built with public funds must be safeguarded from vandalism.
He stressed that self-help has no place in a democratic system, especially after 25 years of continuous democracy.
According to President Tinubu, the judiciary can settle all political disputes, and the outcome of this election should be no exception.
