"I have accepted to continue the service with great members and great minds that are committed to democratic values and the journey for all of us in the region. I will continue with my utmost best to serve our interests and build our democratic values and the structure that we inherited."
Tinubu highlighted the practicality of activating the ECOWAS Standby Force (ESF), urging member states to commit more to providing the needed resources for securing the region.
The Nigerian president said a peaceful and secure society was essential for achieving ECOWAS potential, noting the move to operationalize the ESF in combating terrorism and its success required not only strong political will but also substantial financial resources.
The ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government rotates its chairmanship annually.
Tinubu was first elected as the chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government at the 63rd ordinary session of the regional bloc held in July 2023 in Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau. The one-year tenure ends on July 9.
