Yusuf Tuggar, has warned against describing the unconstitutional change of government in West Africa as solely a regional problem. Tuggar also insisted that the coup could engulf the entire African continent and add to the challenges of terrorism and other cross-border criminalities if not addressed. Tuggar, in a statement signed by his media aide, Alkasim Abdulkadir, on Monday, argued that “Some might say West Africa must have a problem and that is why the crisis is happening there. “West Africa was not responsible for the implosion of Libya that brought out the proliferation of arms. “The AU body of programmes would bring in development and infrastructure when we do not give in to this military takeover.”
