The Arewa Consultative Forum, on Thursday, condemned the coup in the Niger Republic.

The Arewa Consultative Forum, however, views with concern the unfolding events in Nigeria’s immediate neighbour, the Republic of Niger, and the potential impact on the region.

The ACF explained that “The two countries have enjoyed harmonious brotherly and mutually beneficial inter-communal relationships from time immemorial. “While the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, recognises the ECOWAS position to bring pressure to bear on the coupists but nevertheless the military option shouldn’t be a prerequisite for Nigeria’s and the Community’s continuing efforts to enthrone democracy in the region in the 21st century. Certainly, not an adventure to be led by Nigeria.
