In a communiqu\u00e9 issued at the end of the caucus meeting at the National Assembly on Tuesday in Abuja, the chairman of the caucus, Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi, expressed concern at the ongoing military interregnum in democratic spaces in some African countries.<\/p>\n
He said the junta in Niger should plan a transition timetable that should not last more than two years to enable Niger to return to democracy.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe Northern Senators Caucus strongly condemned military intervention in democratic spaces in [parts] of the West African sub-region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe forum condemned in totality the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in Niger, which is Nigeria\u2019s neighbouring country. We asked the military junta in Niger to heed the demands of other countries by freeing President Mohammed Bazoum and his immediate family to fully choose a country of his choice where he will seek asylum.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Northern Senators Caucus further asked the junta in Niger to bring about a transition timetable that will not last more than two years.\u201d<\/p>\n
The caucus also urged the chairman of the Economic Community of West African Countries (ECOWAS), Nigeria\u2019s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to lift restrictions on Niger.<\/p>\n
The caucus said that the restriction was bringing untold hardship to the innocent citizens of Niger.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe asked the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and, of course, the ECOWAS Chairman, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to, as a matter of humanitarian gesture, restore electricity in the Niger Republic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe call on Niger and Nigeria [to remember] that we remain brothers. We remain partners, and we remain Africans,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
