The Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called for unity in the region saying disagreements over the unconstitutional change of governments in Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger should not end cooperation in West Africa
Speaking on the margins of the 37th Ordinary Session of AU Assembly in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, President Tinubu said the drive for a peaceful, strong, and united West Africa is stronger than individuals or any group of people.
According to the ECOWAS Chairman, “The drive for a peaceful, strong, and united West Africa is bigger than any one person or group of people. The bonds of history, culture, commerce, geography, and brotherhood hold deep meaning for our people. Thus, out of the dust and fog of misunderstanding and acrimony, we must seize the chance to create a new people-centric era of trust and accord
“To all who care to listen, I declare that if you come to the table to discuss important matters in good faith, you will find Nigeria and ECOWAS already sitting there waiting to greet you as the brother that you are,” President Tinubu said.
