Senator Shehu Sani has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to weaponise electricity supply against Niger Republic in battling the leadership crisis in the West African country.

According to Sani, the president should be careful not to be the new apprentice of French neo-Colonialism in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) sub-region.

In a tweet on Sunday, the former lawmaker stated that Nigeria shouldn’t be the vigilante of imperialism in West Africa.

Sani stressed that Nigeria should seize the moment and seek a new independent West Africa.

He wrote, “President Tinubu should not weaponise electricity supply to Niger Republic. Nigeria shouldn’t be the vigilante of imperialism in West Africa.

“The president should be careful not to be the new apprentice of French neo-Colonialism in our subregion.

“This is a moment we should seize for a new Independent West Africa; beginning with killing the CFA,Cedi and Naira and adopting a common West African Currency.”
