The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission says the transitional proposal for the Republic of Niger is fake news.
In a communique by the Commission, it refuted the so called proposed transition plan.
The statement said: “The ECOWAS commission’s attention has been drawn to a report of a so-called ECOWAS proposed transition timeframe for Niger. “The report, which is in French and supposedly carried by AFP, is false, and should be treated as fake news.
“The demand of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government is clear: the military authorities in Niger must restore constitutional order immediately by liberating and reinstating President Mohamed Bazoum,” according to the communique
The President of the ECOWAS Commission, H.E. Dr. Omar Alieu Touray, has during a Press Conference at the ECOWAS Commission HQ, today, August 25, 2023, emphasised that ECOWAS is working towards an amicable solution to restore constitutional order in the Republic of Niger. pic.twitter.com/vwBIJGIhua
