According to a statement by his
spokesman, Mr. Laolu Akande, the Vice
President, who represented Buhari in
Ouagadougou, said the leaders were in the
country’s capital to convey the
recommendations agreed by ECOWAS
leaders in Abuja.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday
recalled how he joined other leaders of
the Economic Community of West African
States to facilitate quick restoration of
civilian rule in Burkina Faso, a day after
President Muhammadu Buhari hosted an
Extraordinary session of ECOWAS Authority of
Heads of State and Governments in Abuja.

A decision was taken at the summit to ensure
the termination of last week’s military coup in
the West African nation.

According to a statement by his spokesman,
Mr. Laolu Akande, the Vice President, who
represented Buhari in Ouagadougou, said the
leaders were in the country’s capital to convey
the recommendations agreed by ECOWAS
leaders in Abuja.

He expressed delight that the intervention had
led to the reinstatement of Mr. Michel Kafando
as the country’s transition President.

Akande quoted the Vice President as telling
journalists that the restoration of civilian
authority in Burkina Faso after last week’s
military coup was a good sign and positive thing
for the region.

He said ECOWAS played a significant role in the
process that made the restoration possible.
“As you know, President Kafando had been
detained by the RSP, the presidential guard,
but they have now stepped down as you can
see, and they are now part of the process to
ensure that the transition goes on.

“What we have seen today is how ECOWAS
states came together basically to agree and see
to it that President Kafando was reinstated and
now, that has been accomplished,” Osinbajo
was quoted as telling the journalists.

He said the major task now before the leaders
was to advance the transition process in the
country.

He added that while there were still difficult
issues to be resolved as fallout of the coup, it
is clear that progress will continue, judging
from the fact that the people are determined
and all the groups involved are cooperating.

Osinbajo reiterated Nigeria’s continued
brotherly support for Burkina Faso, while also
commending the international community for
coming together to condemn the coup.

“I think it is very clear, going by the ECOWAS
Supplementary Protocol on Democracy and
Good Governance and the legal instruments of
the African Union, that coups are no longer
fashionable and no longer acceptable.

“In fact, it punishable to take power by force.
“As soon as this coup took place, the entire
ECOWAS, AU and the entire international
community rose with one voice against it.”

After Tuesday’s summit in Abuja hosted by
Buhari, ECOWAS had selected a group of six
leaders one each from Nigeria, Benin, Senegal,
Togo, Niger and Ghana to visit Ouagadougou
and proffer the recommendations of the West
African nations towards solving the disruption
of civil transition programme in Burkina Faso.
President Boni Yayi of Benin was named as
facilitator, while Nigeria was represented by the
Vice President.

In what included series of talks and events all
through Wednesday, leaders from the six West
African nations met with the RSP, Burkina Faso
military and civil leaders and presided over the
formal ceremony to effect the restoration of
power from the presidential guards led by Gen.
Gilbert Deirdre.
