Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, in his capacity as chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Thursday in New York, received briefing from the President of ECOWAS Commission, Jean-Claude Brou.

The president was brought up to speed with developments in Guinea Bissau, which should hold elections soon; Togo, where constitutional reforms are in place, and which would hold parliamentary elections on December 20; as well as Mali, where the situation is still fragile, despite concluding presidential polls recently.

According to Mr Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina, in a statement Friday, the President commended the work being done by ECOWAS Commission, noting that “it is always better to talk and resolve issues, rather than be confrontational.”

He added: “If you represent a people, you won’t like to see them suffering.”

Mr Buhari also pledged that Nigeria would always live up to its financial commitments to the sub-regional body, “since we don’t want to be big for nothing. We will always look for the money.”

The president approved that Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, joined the president of ECOWAS Commission on a special mission to deepen the peace process in Mali.

I feel tempted to write an open letter to Aisha Buhari and tell her to save Nigerians the shame by inserting a poisonous substance into the food of her drunken husband who has been a greater menace to Africa than he could ever be.

A big mistake to mother earth, A bigger mistake to his immediate family, and A great mistake to Nigeria.

I find it embarrassing to call this bag of bones called buhari my president.
