The Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has disclosed that the intention of the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) President Bola Tinubu was not to make life difficult for the citizens of Niger.
Recall that West African leaders, chaired by Tinubu, resolved in their meeting on Thursday to deploy standby military troops to restore constitutional order in Niger.
The development came after the Niger junta rejected talks with several delegations, insisting on military rule in the West African country.
