Reports just coming in reveals that the Economic Community of West African States Parliament was divided over the actions that should be taken to address the Niger coup.
Some parliamentarians were of the opinion that ECOWAS should proceed with a military action against the Niger junta, others were against it.
Twenty-two parliamentarians took part in the virtual extraordinary meeting on Saturday to discuss the political crisis in Niger Republic.
While some of the parliament spoke in support of dialogue and diplomacy, others called for actions that would actually stem the rise in military government within the region.
