Nigeria's president on Thursday urged West Africa's regional bloc to do "whatever it takes" to achieve an "amicable resolution" of the crisis in Niger, after the organisation set the country's junta a deadline to reinstate toppled leader Mohamed Bazoum or risk a possible military intervention.
Bola Tinubu told two delegations representing the ECOWAS bloc to do "whatever it takes to ensure a conclusive and amicable resolution of the situation in Niger", according to a statement from the Nigerian presidency.
