The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, has said President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Banjul, The Gambia, tuesday to meet with the country’s President, Yahya Jammeh, who lost the presidential election penultimate week.

According to him, Buhari, who arrived together with President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, the current Chairperson of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS, and President Ernest Bai Koroma of Sierra-Leone, were received at the airport by Gambia’s Vice-President, Isatou Njie-Saidy.

The statement said the out-going President of Ghana, John Mahama, who had earlier arrived Banjul, would join the other West African leaders to meet President Jammeh at the CoCo Ocean Resort and Spa, Banjul.

Jammeh had earlier conceded defeat in the election, after a 22-year rule, but recanted a week later, asking for fresh polls to be conducted by a “god-fearing and independent electoral commission.”

Adesina said Buhari and the ECOWAS leaders would discuss the ensuing impasse in The Gambia with Jammeh, and insist on the sanctity of the electoral process, and respect for the wishes of the people.

They would also ask their host to respect the constitution of his own country, and maintain the inviolability of an electoral process that had been concluded, and in which he had admitted defeat, and congratulated his main challenger.

The statement said the leaders would also meet the President-elect, Adama Barrow.

The statement said Buhari was expected back in Abuja yesterday.

Okay

Hmmm

Okay

Nawa for African leaders.

whilst GEJ is out touring

Absolute power corrupts absolutely........... We are developing and leaders should understand the principle of leadership better in Africa. I am there today because God ordains it and the people accept it, once it expires we should understand that our appointed time has elapsed. Accept defeat gracefully!

Hypocrisy.

His speech after 2011 election caused a great chaos in this land. Many corps members died because of this vindictive old fool. Baboons and dogs statement.

Anyway, we shall remind you this in 2019.

Jammeh should handover peacefully

Lol. I hope buhari too will know how to step down in 2019

An animal that refused to concede in 2011 and got hundreds of Nigerians including NYSC members killed is now leading delegates to persuade Gambian president to concede defeat, same lunatic old tyrant that couldnt conduct one simple free and fair election since he came to power, same wicked and useless old fool that has disrespected judiciary and court orders is leading African leaders to Gambia to ask another to concede defeat! Really? And you telling me that Africa is not mad like this?

Sau Baba

I hope Buhari too will step down if he is voted out !! Make him no wait till AU, ecowas, afenifere,Biafra , opc, carry delegate to go beg oo !

how does this unfreezes my MMM account. abegiiiii

Why are they begging the goat of a president to step down? After ruling for 22years what else is he still looking for? He should ask Laurent Gbagbo, Blaise Camparore and Adoulaye Wade how far. Maybe he will get the message. Sit tight and Power drunk leaders are one of the problems we have in Africa. Adama Barrow please give Yahaya Jammeh the type of disgrace Alassana Quattara gave to that fool called Laurent Gbagbo.
