President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday evening returned from Bamako, Mali, after many hours of consultations and closed-door meeting meant to mitigate the political crisis in that country.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the meeting was attended by the host President, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita; Presidents Machy Sall of Senegal, Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana and Alassane Ouattara of Cote d’Ivoire.
Riots on July 10 led to the killing of some protesters by security agents, causing the crisis to spiral out of control, hence the intervention by ECOWAS. “The host President also briefed the Heads of State and government on the socio-political situation in the country, especially the disagreements that spiralled into protests and violence,’’ Adesina said.
He said the sub-regional leaders had already agreed there would be a need for a compromise to protect the peace and integrity of the nation.
