Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Sola Enikanolaiye
The Federal Government has denied endorsement of the failed coup attempt in the Niger Republic.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Amb Sola Enikanolaye, in a statement issued on Thursday and made available to newsmen, rejected the claim and described it as an attempt to misinform the public.
“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.”
