- Reno Omokri said the Federal Republic of Nigeria needs to reestablish the rule of law in the Niger Republic
- Omokri said it is important to reestablish the rule of law in the country because of the refugees and migrants that will move into Nigeria
- He added that France, NATO or Russia will not face the direct burden of any political instability in Niger
Former President Goodluck Jonathan's aide, Reno Omokri, has revealed why Nigeria needs to reestablish the rule of law in the Niger Republic following the dramatic coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum from office.
Omokri said if there is political and economic instability in Niger, the influx of refugees and migrants will naturally be to Nigeria.

In a post on his Twitter page @renoomokri, he said Nigeria has “a vested interest in what happens in next-door Niger Republic, the way Russia has a vested interest in what happens in Ukraine and America in Cuba.”
He also noted that any political instability in the Sahel would not be the direct burden of France, NATO or Russia.

"Political instability in the Sahel will not be the direct burden of France, NATO or Russia. Libya and Chad, which share a border with Niger, are somewhat in a crisis. Algeria is dead set against opening its borders to non-Arab, and non-Amazigh persons. Mali is facing hydra-headed issues, including a power struggle, an Islamist insurgency, and a population growth rate higher than her GDP growth rate.
"Therefore, if there is political and economic instability in Niger, the influx of refugees and migrants will naturally be to Nigeria.
"And that is why it is in Nigeria's interests to reestablish the rule of law in Niger. Either that or we build a Trump-style wall between us and them."
