Grammy award-winning Nigerian musician Damini Ogulu popularly known in music circles as Burna Boy has taken a swipe at the Nigerian government for seeking military action against Niger junta.

Recall that the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, led by its newly elected Chairman, President Bola Tinubu gave the Niger Republic junta seven days ultimatum to restore normalcy or face stringent sanctions.

The ultimatum was issued last week during an emergency meeting in Abuja, Nigeria.

According to a communique released after the meeting, the West African leaders agreed on seven political sanctions that would compel the military to bow. According to them, West African States would ensure:

“Closure and monitoring of all land borders with the Niger Republic and reactivation of the border drilling exercise.

While reacting to the ultimatum issued to the Niger junta, Burna Boy took a swipe at the Nigerian government in a video on Instagram saying that Tinubu has not solved the issue of fuel subsidy in the country but is spoiling for war with a neighbouring country.
