In a Twitter statement posted via his verified account on Monday, Fani-Kayode stated that Nigerians should sit back and enjoy the unfolding drama, considering the coup leaders’ readiness for dialogue with ECOWAS.

He expressed: “Niger Republic is now prepared to engage in dialogue with ECOWAS, and they have disclosed that their removal of the former President was due to his proposed actions affecting both Niger and Nigeria.

“Someone bring the popcorn as we settle in comfortably to hear more and witness the progression of this unfolding story.

“Meanwhile, condemnation is directed towards President Alhassan Outarra of Ivory Coast, along with all other belligerent, aggressive advocates who sought to exploit our nation for their agendas and who nearly pushed us to the brink of conflict with a neighboring nation.”
