In a bid to execute the goals, President Bola Tinubu, on August third, dispatched a designation to Niger with an order to determine the political stalemate in the nation quickly.
The designation, headed by General Abdulsalami Abubakar (Rtd), previous Nigerian head of state,left for Niamey, on Thursday after a statement by President Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

According to accumulated reports efforts of the designation were yielding no sure result as the Nigerian military promised to threaten the goals of the authority of ECOWAS.
An anonymous reported that "it was because of the refusal of the Nigerien army to dissolve the matter that made Tinubu to request the Senate for endorsement for military activities against the junta.
Military activity was the last thing the ECOWAS proposed however from the appearance of things, the troopers in Niger are not prepared for talks.
The citizens of Niger aren't displaying any much agitation to the current situation at hand. Yet the ECOWAS led by Pres Tinubu keeps diving deep into the issues. May this not excalate and cause for Nigerians especially.
