Buhari Congratulates Tinubu On His Election As ECOWAS Chair

Former Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated his successor, President Bola Tinubu, on his emergence as the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS.

The former President, in a release issued by erstwhile presidential spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, said he was elated to hear the news that President Tinubu was elected chairman at the 63rd Ordinary Session of the regional bloc held on Sunday  in Bissau, capital of Guinea-Bissau.

According to the ex-Nigerian leader: “West Africans have entrusted our new leader with an enormous responsibility, and it will be our task as citizens to support him to not let them down.

“I pray the Almighty will make his tenure as Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government see to the restoration of ECOWAS as the bastion of  democracy, good governance and a leader in fighting terrorism and climate change on the continent.”
