United States Vice President Kamala Harris and United Nations’ Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, have expressed strong support for Nigeria’s efforts toward the restoration of constitutional order in the Republic of Niger.
The two leaders, in separate conversations with President Bola Tinubu on Thursday evening in Abuja, reportedly commended the Nigerian President, who is equally the Chairman of ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, for spearheading the peace moves.
Before now, Some soldiers from the Presidential Guard had on Wednesday moved to depose President Mohamed Bazoum in Niamey.
President Tinubu had quickly rejected the threat to democracy in that country, sending a strong delegation to talk with all the parties with a view to restoring constitutional order in Niger.
While pledging to support democracy in Africa including the West African sub region, Harris also said the U.S. would assist Nigeria in the battle against terrorism, including Nigeria to embrace energy transitions.
