Abstract:

This study on “President Mohamed Bazoum’s Political Leadership and Military Intervention in Niger Republic,” aimed at explaining how President Mohamed Bazoum’s political leadership triggered military intervention in Niger Republic. Ex Post Facto design that depended on the judgmental sampling technique was adopted in the study. Secondary sources (books, journal articles, conference papers, monographs and internets materials) of data collection were sourced from Nigerian libraries and internet. These documentary data were subjected to content validity before analyzed qualitatively into the study. Notwithstanding the fact that environmental theory has deepened knowledge on the fundamentals for military intervention in Niger Republic, the study identified corruption, economic hardship, insecurity, self-interest and infrastructural deficit as factors that were responsible for the forceful removal of President Mohamed Bazoum on 26th July, 2023. The coup d’état has resulted in food insecurity, inflation, termination of infrastructural projects, border closure as well as sanctions by Economic Community of West African States. France has recalled its Ambassador and withdrew all military assistance including troops from Niger Republic. United States and European Union have stopped budgetary and development assistance to Niger Republic. The military junta has entered into security partnership with Mali, Burkina Faso and Wagner Group. Possibility of future coup d’état is undoubted; according to findings. In order to avert counter coup, the study recommends adoption of non-military approach to insecurity in Niger Republic, provision of essential public services, establishment of anti-graft agencies, as well as entrenchment of constitutional order. These measures should receive immediate attention, if the present military government hopes to survive.
