He noted that in the past year, the president has demonstrated strong leadership in uniting members of ECOWAS, especially during the leadership instability that characterized some member states.

The Speaker expressed delight that the member states of ECOWAS unanimously re-elected Nigeria’s President to the position, saying it was a confirmation of their trust and confidence in him.

Speaker Abbas wished President Tinubu another successful tenure as the chairman of ECOWAS.
