Nigerian President Bola Tinubu-led Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has asked the junta in the Niger Republic to listen to voice reason and return power to democratic government, insisting that the option for military action against the junta is still on the table. This is as the junta who usurped power from democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum through a bloodless coup on July 26 have ignored the West African bloc one week deadline and refused to return constitutional power to President Bazoum.
