The Governor of Ebonyi State, Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, has conveyed his felicitations to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu on his election as the Chairman of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) at Bissau, Guinea- Bissau.
In a press statement by the Chief Press secretary, Dr.Monday Uzor, the Governor noted that the overwhelming endorsement of the Nigerian President to lead the organisation is a welcome development considering his pedigree and accomplishments in public service which will undoubtedly help the organisation to achieve its goals.
“We are confident in the capacity of President Tinubu to come up with reforms that will promote cooperation and development in all spheres of economic activity among member countries.
“His emergence as the leader of ECOWAS came at a time the region is faced with daunting security challenges that requires a proactive and visionary leader like President Tinubu who will develop a tactical leadership that will resolve all conflicts across the west African subregion.
” As he exudes confidence to lead, I implore Heads of States and Government in the region to join hands with him to wage war against undemocratic regimes and to also sustain the core elements of regional integration.
“On behalf of the Government and good people of Ebonyi State, I wish Mr. President a successful tenure.”
