Former President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern about the safety of President Mohammed Bazoum and his family in the wake of the military coup in Niger Republic.

Buhari remained deeply shocked over latest undemocratic developments on neighbouring Niger Republic.

A release by his former spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu also raised concern about the fate of democratic system of government in that country.

The release stated that ex-President said, “As to be expected, I, just like millions of other Nigerians, am shocked by the latest turn of events in Niger Republic, our neighbor to the North.

“Concerns have been raised about the fate of democracy as a system of government in the country and in the wider subregion, and equally so, about the safety of President Mohammed Bazoum and his family.

“I and my family are as much concerned about these as is everyone else.

“It is heartening to note that the ECOWAS, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is already dealing effectively with the matter and our hope and prayers are that the unwanted situation will be completely reversed and the safety and wellbeing of President Bazoum and his family are ensured”.
