Nigerian Govt not in Support of any Invasion toward Niger

General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the military leader of the Niger Republic, has accused Nigeria of forming an alliance with France in a bid for a military invasion. He made these claims in a viral video

However, this accusation has been met with frowns from the Federal Government of Nigeria that described his accusations as unfounded and a way of diverting the attention to his leadership shortcomings.

Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, said, “Nigeria has never engaged in any overt or covert alliance with France – or any other country – to sponsor terrorist attacks or destabilize the Niger Republic in the wake of the undemocratic change in the leadership of that country.
