President Tinubu emerged by a unanimous decision of member states at the 63rd summit of the Authority of Heads of States and Government of the regional body in Bissau, Guinea Bissau last Saturday.
The statement reads: “Let me start by felicitating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over yet another feat recorded with his emergence as the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of States and Government of the Economic Community of West Africa State (ECOWAS). This is undoubtedly a premium repose of confidence in the ability of Mr President who has only spent 41 days in office as Nigerian President to birth a new dawn of robust economic prosperity, stronger regional ties, solid liberal democracy among member states and an enduring security architecture to curb the waves of increasing threat of banditry and terrorism in the sub-region.”
Raji, a Certified Fellow International Professional Managers and Fellow Professional Managers Association, United Kingdom, said further that the major challenges confronting the regional bloc and proffered solutions were well encapsulated in the acceptance speech of the new Chairman, saying it was an indication Tinubu knows the nitty gritty of the tasks ahead.
“Therefore, It is my fervent prayer that Almighty Allah grant Mr President the mental and physical wherewithal to deliver excellently on his superlative blueprint for the regional body and the Nigerian Nation in particular. Amen,” the statement said.
