A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress and former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, said Nigeria should respond swiftly if military from Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali attack Nigeria.
Fani-Kayode disclosed this on Friday through his Twitter handle while reacting to the political situation in Niger Republic.
GISTS VILLA News recalls that the Military juntas in Niger on Friday severed diplomatic relationships with Nigeria.
He wrote: “I do not want a war, and I do not believe that we should initiate hostilities by invading or deploying troops to the Niger Republic unless it is essential.
“However, if Niger, Burkina Faso and/or Mali attack Nigeria or any of our ECOWAS allies for ANY reason whatsoever or if they deploy their forces on even one inch of our soil, our response must be swift, shocking, deadly and devastating.
“We must kick them out, occupy their Southern territories, take their capital Niamey, topple their military Government and re-establish democracy. If a puppy nibbles at the toes of a lion, it must be taught the lesson of its life lest it forgets that it is nothing but a dog”.
Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wrote to the Senate on Friday seeking a military option to the political situation in Niger.
