Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Sola Enikanolaiye
The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Sola Enikanolaye, has denied endorsing the failed coup attempt in Niger Republic.
This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday and made available to newsmen in Lokoja, personally signed by the minister.
“The attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been drawn to a series of false and mischievous claims circulating on social media, suggesting that the recent failed coup attempt in Niger Republic had the backing of ECOWAS and, by insinuation, the endorsement of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria categorically rejects these claims as baseless, irresponsible, and a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and tarnish Nigeria’s image.”
