President Bola Tinubu on Thursday met with a delegation of Islamic leaders under the auspices of the Council of Ulamas that recently met with the coup leaders in Niger Republic.
The Islamic leaders, led by Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, are at the Presidential Villa, Abuja to brief the President on the outcome of their discussion with the junta’s head, General Abdourahamane Tchiani.
Recall that the Ulamas got the approval of President Tinubu to negotiate with the coup leaders in the Niger Republic on behalf of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
After their meeting with General Tchiani in Niger, they are now at the Presidential Villa to brief President Tinubu on the outcome of their visit over the political situation in the country.
The clerics had previously voiced their opposition to war and recommended dialogue in resolving the situation in Niger Republic.
