Bola Ahmed Tinubu has emerged as the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States.
The Nigerian President was elected chairman at the 63rd Ordinary Session of the regional bloc held on Sunday afternoon in Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau.
After the Nigerian leader received handover documents from the outgoing chairman who is Guinea-Bissau’s President, Umaro Embaló, he said: “We will take democracy seriously, Democracy is very tough but it is the form of government”
The ECOWAS Chairmanship is a position held by one of the heads of state or government of the member countries, chosen on a rotating basis for a one-year tenure.
The Chairman plays a very important role in conflict resolution, advocacy and liaises with the President of the ECOWAS Commission, the executive responsible for the day-to-day management and implementation of ECOWAS policies and decisions.
