Was the security ok before their exit?

[@IBG.GlobalEnterprise]

As a Nigerian, I applaud AES for their exit out of the useless ECOWAS. Pls someone should help me find Citizenship in any of the AES. It's better to be late than "the late"

[@Bluepill-matrix]

You yourself are useless

[@muhammadrezaajanisuleiman4026]

Mr Minister, there was just one country that exited ECOWAS since 1975 - Mauritania, over the Protocol on Democracy. Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan, Buhari all heeded this from this example and did not enforce the Protocol. Your boss pushed it, and three countries left. Your analysis of the issue is just dialectical with the truth, Sir

[@theproblemiseewithjamaicar7470]

why the corrupt system call Ecowas don’t move and leave these brothers alone democracy doesn’t work in Africa. if it works why Africa is under develop after all these years of democracy?

[@muhammadrezaajanisuleiman4026]

Mr Minister, your claim about DEMOCRACY giving freedom of thought and speech fails to recognize that the AES states are exercising their own freedom of thought in sacking civilian leaders that place their countries' resource on the menu and table of France.

[@muhammadghaliahmed6793]

I duff my hat, Sir for Amb. Tuga for his intelligent, understanding of the ecowas regional socio-economic development paradigm shift in the wake of the coups in the Sahelian region. Insha Allah, Amb. Yusuf Tuga is the next governor of Bauchi state. May the almighty God bless him and grant him sound health and long life to witness his vision and dreams of transforming the Bauchi state 🙏.

[@EnidHavilanfl]

Why should the thrèe countries stay in an organization that is linked to EU and France. Nigeria is not being honest with itself and the rest of their members. The Sahil members are quite are aware of the problem.😊

[@NegroPapa]

With Tinubu as chairman of Ecowes,caoise arrives.

[@SodiqWilliams-x8w]

Because of Burkina faso,Niger and Mali Nigerian should not do business with France?

[@obinnaokafor6252]

Nonsense democracy. Lol

[@ck-sl3kt]

@obinnaokafor6252 Worst democracy still a million times better than the best military rule. Remember the greed of Ironsi and Ojukwu and the consequences to Igbos.

[@obinnaokafor6252]

@ck-sl3kt the hardest thing to do in life is to reason with a black man.

[@OmarMahama-u3m]

​@@ck-sl3ktkeep exercising your ignorance.

[@uosg1235]

democracy is better than what ipob n obituaries wanted after lost in 2023 elections

[@tinaoffice9274]

indeed

[@kohouwd]

Ecowas lost credibility by not blaming the 3rd term in ivory coast and guinea yet they wanted to blame these guys.

[@SodatDabino]

Why is Guinée Conakry still in ECOWAS then?

[@ck-sl3kt]

@SodatDabino Because guinea gave dates they will return to democracy and are working with ECOWAS to achieve it. But the military criminals that hijacked the other 3 countries are greedy and childish and so bent on destroying those countries completely. They have no intention to change the country to democracy so they have no business in ECOWAS.

[@ucheukponu877]

Excellent point!

[@OmarMahama-u3m]

Don't mind those hypocrites.

[@uosg1235]

have u seen the Guinee Conakry dictator at one meeting of ecowas.

[@KhafreAblo]

​@@uosg1235it doesn't matter he was there or not everybody can see the hypocrisy of ECOWAS. That guinea président is a French puppet just like tinubu, Ouattara and talon

[@tescobar2001]

Tuggar is one of the best from the North. Very resourceful !!! Tinubu identified him among others.

[@SeedyCeesay-d9j]

The Gambia situation is horrible. AES, three nation learn through Gambia. ecowas is no longer useful to west africa anymore- WOLLAHI 🙏.

[@shd94]

Didn’t boko haram jnsurgency happen before Libya was destroyed 🤡

[@chineduonuorah]

Is the exit of the 3 countries beneficial to Nigeria and other ECOWAS members? NO They are convinced that Nigeria is undermining their independence and aligns with their oppressors and of late Nigeria has been hobnobbing with their oppressors and number one enemy France.

[@gorillamaniamnotatrollimju8408]

It’s beneficial to Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali

[@muhammadrezaajanisuleiman4026]

Mr Tuggar needs to be schooled on national interest!

[@Bluepill-matrix]

I wish you asked him about Congo and if Nigeria has any plan of intervening

[@yellowhat123]

Why Sad? Sahelexit is a welcomed and innovative idea. See what democracy is doing in DRC. That is what would have happened in Mali if General Goita and his team did not intervene. The Sahel did not restrict movement either. Now the movent is from Nigeria to Nigèr. sadly.

[@muhammadrezaajanisuleiman4026]

very sad when an intelligent person is made to look hollow in his attempt to defend the government he serves. very sad.

[@cjceejay5261]

What benefits have the masses received from the so called democracy and “elected”politicians? What development have these “elected” corrupt politicians brought to their respective countries in ECOWAS? Sometimes, these journalists don’t ask the right questions.

[@aframaco9491]

Would you rather have ill fitting clothes on or walk about naked?? 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

[@uosg1235]

it's not easy to accept defeat in an election but i understand too much confidence cause the hate in 2023 election..

[@muhammadghaliahmed6793]

Amb. Yusuf Tuggar is primarily ready for leadership needed to be assisted to reach his dreams and vision. This is the type of positive mindsets thinking leaders Nigeria need to stirring the affairs of the north primarily and Nigeria in general. To say the least, Sir, I am very impressed with Amb. Yusuf Tuggar assertive direction and patriotism. A Nigerian without any biase whatsoever in all standards of socio-economic development policy.

[@NegroPapa]

The opposit Sir. Just a sweet talker Islamist.

[@Livingstone-x3b]

It is surprising that you journalists and politicians do not understand the AES. Ghana understands. The interviewee is talking balderdash. Mr. Tinubu is not CLEAN and it is a pity he President of Nigeria. I pity Nigeria for its quality of journalists and politicians. One million or five hundred thousand dollars is an insult to these three countries. Time will shame this politician, diplomat and foreign minister. I feel like insulting him. @yellowhat, may God bless you. You know a thing or two. Your understanding of the situation surpasses that of this narcissistic foreign minister.

[@uosg1235]

election losers can't accept defeat of last 2023 elections.so stop hate n prepare 2027 not lost again...

[@johnsmith-eu6yj]

Don't leave your window Open or door somebody going to climb in this time AES was awake and took care of the problem

[@Daseeker4895]

Bala Muhammed is the true definition of greed.

[@kadyjee]

But many of those that migrated down south or wherever End up staying and inconvenient the people and their business by means of Herding and so on

[@SulaimanZakariya-j9m]

If west Africa people intelligence no war no conflict no harmful. If they ignorant all this things will happen. All pointed hands to Nigeria is just Nigeria to be they side not against them. Nigeria she be intelligence not be anyone slave for they selfish interest.

[@MammanLawwali]

😂😂😂😂😂😂👎👎👎👎😂😂😂

[@Starlightdesignsintellect]

Who told you off air, Nigeria is not best supporting the Juntas at the moment to leave so that they may truly be freed from the outreach of France using ECOWAS. Diplomacy is a card game. Except you are on the table. You will never understand the rhetorics

[@muhammadrezaajanisuleiman4026]

Mano River Union predated ECOWAS, Mr Minister.

[@ucheukponu877]

Can you imagine? ECOWAS turns 50 years and Tinubu's dastard and incompetent mishandling of the Mali-BF-Niger issue led to the depletion of the bloc. He thought the way he governed Lagos would be the same way he should govern Nigeria and lead ECOWAS.

[@enisanajigbade5722]

You always points finger, we don't need them they are the one who need Ecowas

[@ck-sl3kt]

@ucheukponu877 Comment by an empty head lol. ECOWAS rule is clear, if greedy military coup plotters grab government in that country they will cease to be member of ECOWAS. The ECOWAS tried considering the ordinary citizens who will now suffer for greed of only few military criminals, but as it turns out they form their own association now so GOODBYE to backward and archaic military greed. If I were ECOWAS, I will make sure our government never have any dealings with those countries until they will have sense to return to democracy and decide to move forward like other ECOWAS countries.

[@aframaco9491]

Why have you got to be so ugleeee, why Nna man?? Britain exited from the European Union, and nobody blamed anybody in any of the European union! Tinubu did his best as ECOWAS chairman and he has no blame in any shape or form!! Those three countries are going to suffer indefinitely, they are all landlocked countries with no access to the coast! Leaving ECOWAS would mean they will have none of the benefits of the ECOWAS member states! But leave Nigeria out of it ! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

[@ucheukponu877]

As a scholar of comparative regionalism, I believe my assessment of Tinubu's failure in keeping ECOWAS as is from 1975 till when he met it as Chairperson is well informed. As much as these countries need ECOWAS, they are also needed by ECOWAS. If not, why did ECOWAS still retain member states privileges for them? Their lands serve as pathways for the West African Gas Pipelines and flights have become more expensive because planes have to divert away from their airspaces. Your comparison with Brexit is totally inapplicable because the issues involved in the EU leading to Brexit are a world apart from the myriad of issues in the ECOWAS leading to the exit of the AED states.

[@ck-sl3kt]

@@ucheukponu877 No sensible person would want military criminals to attend ECOWAS meeting. Go cure your brain.

[@techy5232]

What is honorable in ministers or politicians in Nigeria? Stop calling thieves honorable ?

[@karlsinclair9285]

what arrogance

[@Bluepill-matrix]

I enjoyed this interview. God bless the minister

[@muhammadrezaajanisuleiman4026]

Mr Tuggar, you are misleading people by claiming that the the AES are losers. If so, then, why is ECOWAS begging the AES to allow their citizens continue to use ECOWAS passport and maintain the free mobility regime?

[@sagnankomi7598]

Oga also witnessed that It is well known by Everybody who knows Naija and by those that not even know it that it is one of the the most corrupt countries in the world. So what is not true about the alleged destabilization from Nigeria of AES.

[@omarmoulga6234]

You are part of those people who shame the content

[@Phatkuz18]

There is nothing sad... They will be back, cos junta will not be there forever

[@obinnaokafor6252]

Juntas, making their countries livable places.

[@GoAt_Tv-ngr]

@obinnaokafor6252 OK, move there

[@gorillamaniamnotatrollimju8408]

Hahaha 😂 keep dreaming, no one wants to go back a useless and incompetent organization like ECOWAS

[@victorpatrick4400]

​@@GoAt_Tv-ngrGreat advice. You also needed to ask him how old he is 😅

[@buhariyusuf9623]

Mr. Minister, i think we should get the history,the content, and the context, correct . Ecowas was not formed as a civil society organization, charged with the task of democratising the sub region. No. It was basically an economic development concept relaying on the citizens' free movements. In fact, the organization was majorly founded by the military head of states. Therefore, democracy wasn't any of the core mandate of ecowas binding articles. We should accept the fact that our president was not properly guided. Diplomacy was hugely and spectacularly mismanaged. The resort to sanctions and military intervention was not the proper and plausible strategy to deploy in addressing a problem involving sovereign countries. Nigerian government becomes disturbingly hubristic. Again, the president, who is from the southern part of Nigeria, might not appreciate the historical nexus between Nigeria and Niger. It was obvious he was not properly briefed. Niger 🇳🇪 was with Nigeria when France was against us during the Biafran war. We should, therefore, resist the temptation of newfound euphoria of this France Nigeria sex up diplomatic misdirection. We need Niger more than Niger needs us.
