Niger coup leaders question Tinubu's integrity

Avoid blood shed, ask ECOWAS to stand down. We will defend our country – Nigeriens

the coup leaders in Niger have questioned the integrity of Nigeria’s President Tinubu in his support for military intervention in Niger. Is it not preposterous and a huge spat on the faces of Nigerians that an individual, who is beleaguered by allegations of corruption, perjury, identity theft, inconsistencies in name and ancestry, as well as alleged narcotics offence for which he forfeited a whopping sum of $460,000 to the United States of America, could present himself for election into the office of the President of the Federal of Nigeria and win and yet interfering in our patrio0tic quest to salvage our country from corrupt politicians.

Recall that George Galloway, a member of the British Parliament between 1987 and 2015, says President Bola Tinubu, whose victory in the February 25 election is being challenged in court, lacks the moral standing to speak out against the ongoing coup in the Republic of Niger.

Mr Galloway, famed for his brutal candour, asserted that he only recently learnt that Mr Tinubu was a bagman for mafia and drug dealers. He said these were discouraging attributes for someone tasked with leading a country.

“To my absolute astonishment, forgive my ignorance; I had no idea that this man was a bagman for the mafia and the drug dealers in Chicago, Illinois, which doesn’t seem like a great qualification for the leader of Nigeria,” going further he said “These people are now talking about democracy in Niger; many of them don’t have the leg to stand on, do they?” Mr Galloway said, throwing a jab at Mr Tinubu’s so-called moral compass to condemn the coup.
