Shehu Sani, a former senator, has pleaded with Bola Tinubu to refrain from using the Niger Republic’s leadership problem as a political football.
According to Sani, the president of the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, should take care to avoid becoming the next student of French neo-colonialism in the subregion.
The social critic stated in a tweet on Sunday that Nigeria shouldn’t be the watchdog of imperialism in West Africa.

He advised Nigeria to grasp the opportunity and work to create a new, independent West Africa.
He wrote, “President Tinubu should not weaponise electricity supply to Niger Republic. Nigeria shouldn’t be the vigilante of imperialism in West Africa. The President should be careful not to be the new apprentice of French neo-Colonialism in our subregion. This is a moment we should seize for a new Independent West Africa; beginning with killing the CFA,Cedi and Naira and adopting a common West African Currency.”
