#PRIME MINISTER OF NIGER RESUMES OFFICE, APPOINTS MINISTERS (Video)

Headlinenews.news correspondent in Niamey sent the report and video of the arrival of the Nigeriene Prime Minister to Niamey yesterday.
The appointment of the Prime Minister of Niger, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, a seasoned Economist received the commendation of the African community and gives a new dimension to the Junta’s Coup. Niger, with a professional, civilian as Prime Minister can no longer be categorised as under military rule.

The development in Niger portrays a home grown style of governance which is acceptable to her people and a novel concept in Africa. An innovative form of diarchy which may be emulated by other African Nations. An unusual combination of Military and Civilian arrangement of governance. Niger has become a pacesetter in Africa and many are watching to see how the balance would ensure seamless governance for the benefit of the people and the Country.

ECOWAS should not undermine the sovereignty of the people of Niger or any other member State nor its territorial integrity according to its Treaty. They must allow the people of Niger to determine the type of governance which is most suitable & beneficial to them.

Today, the new Prime Minister will meet with the Head of the Junta Tchiani and work things out on the best way forward with governance for the best interest of Niger and her People. They obviously know what they are doing and do not need any interference from any external force.

The Niger coup leaders have announced the creation of a new government and appointment of 21 persons as ministers on Thursday

The coupists made the announcement in a television broadcast, two weeks after toppling President Mohamed Bazoum in a coup.

The Niger military junta said the newly appointed Prime Minister, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, will lead 21 new ministers forming the new government.

It comes as ECOWAS Heads of state and Government are set to hold a summit on Thursday in Abuja to reach an agreement on the next line of action regarding the recent coup in Niger.
