President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, received former President Goodluck Jonathan at the State House where the ex-President briefed him on the happenings within the West African sub-region.
Jonathan, who is the Special Envoy of the Economic Community of West African States leading its mediation mission in Mali, said he was at the State House to relay to Tinubu the outcomes of discussions with other members of the West African Elders Forum which he chairs.
As special envoy, the former President has been facilitating dialogue with major stakeholders in Mali, including President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, opposition leaders, civil society and religious organisations towards resolving the socio-political crisis in the country. Jonathan said, “I came to brief the President on the activities of some continental and subcontinental bodies.
“You know, I am the ECOWAS mediator for Mali and the Chairman of the West African Elders Forum. So, there are certain issues bordering on the continent and the sub-region that I discuss with various Presidents.” On Sunday, June 11, members of Mali’s security forces cast their ballots during early voting ahead of the new constitution referendum slated for June 18.
