President Bola Tinubu has called on West African leaders to draw inspiration from Ghana’s recent elections, which he described as a model of democratic maturity and national unity.
“I urge all of us in the region to learn from this good democratic practice and prioritise our country’s national unity to ensure political stability of the region so that this manner of peaceful transition becomes the culture of democracy not only in West Africa but also in the entire Africa continent,” Tinubu said.
The president used the occasion to commend Senegal for successfully holding parliamentary elections and called on ECOWAS member states to recommit to the bloc’s founding ideals of peace, prosperity, and economic integration ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2025.
