Member of Parliament (MP) for the Kwadaso constituency, Dr Kingsley Nyarko, has emerged as a vocal critic of the Niger junta's actions, boldly labeling the coup as "needless."

The coup, which saw the military wrest control of the West African nation, has ignited a firestorm of debate both domestically and internationally.

And at the center of this discourse stands the Economic Community of West African States ECOWAS which is deploying means to restore power to Niger. The outspoken MP also in his reaction to the development minced no words in condemning what he perceives as an unjustifiable power grab.

He, thus, pleaded with the coup leaders to heed the ECOWAS call and restore democratic rule in the country.

On the ECOWAS threat of military invasion, the MP advised the African leaders to resort to dialogue in resolving the conflict saying "I support negotiations that will cause them to go back to democratic rule."
