Tinubu, who is the Chairperson of the Economic Community of West African States, said all diplomatic options will be exhausted with the coup leaders before any resort to military intervention.
He insisted that any forceful removal of a democratic government remained wholly unacceptable.
According to a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the ECOWAS chair, noted that the alternative of kinetic intervention in Niger Republic had not been jettisoned.
