The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has elected President Bola Tinubu as its new Chairman.
“We will treat democracy with respect.” “Democracy is difficult, but it is the best form of government,” he declared upon his arrival in Guinea-Bissau on Sunday.
He takes over as ECOWAS chair from Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Embalo.
Tinubu’s election was announced during the 63rd Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government.
The 63rd Ordinary Session summit was the President’s first engagement on the African continent after taking office on May 29, 2023.
