Osinbajo: Democratic Election Is The Only Acceptable Way To Change Government by Deputy1111(m): 8:43pm On Feb 03, 2022
As far as ECOWAS is concerned, there is only one way of changing government in the region, acceptable to all of the protocols, to even the political rights of the people and that is by a democratically elected government.

This assertion was affirmed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, after attending the ECOWAS Extraordinary Summit on the political situations in Burkina Faso, Mali and Guinea in Accra today.

Prof. Osinbajo who represented President Muhammadu Buhari at the Summit was accosted by reporters (at the end of the meeting) who wanted to know how the summit of the leaders fared.

Responding, the VP said "I think it has been fruitful, the Heads of State again reiterated the firm position that had been taken earlier that there is absolutely no excuse for a change of government by coup d’etat.

“So, what happened in Burkina Faso was considered and has been condemned by all of the heads of state and we do not think there is any excuse for it whatsoever.

"But at the moment, of course, engagement is going on with the military junta and also we condemned the attempted coup in Guinea-Bissau and congratulated President Embalo and the people of Guinea-Bissau for resisting that unconstitutional attempt to change the government.

"All in all it has been fruitful and we are very hopeful that lessons had been learnt and we will not see a repeat of this.

"What about Mali?" he was asked.

"We are expecting that the Malian authorities would respond to ECOWAS imposed sanctions as you know and we expect that at some point, the Malian authorities themselves would begin to speed up the process of transition. We expect that they would do so. We are looking forward to that engagement."

The Vice President has since returned to Abuja this evening, from Accra.

These are the kind of actions expected by ECOWAS. Democracy should be upheld in these countries. Kudos to Osinbajo for his accountability. Welcome back home Sir.

There was never a time any lesson was learnt.
If those (VIP) Vagabonds In Power don't make amends. The citizens will do the needful.

Nonsense ECOWAS and it's thieving members forming leaders angry

cool


ECOWAS are some spineless, ballsless noise makers... They should copy NATO and GCC countries when it comes to standing thier grounds on ECOWAS charters

When Liberia was doing anyhow how, Gen Abacha quickly formed ECOWAS/ ECOMOG Army to restore calm using brutal force.

When Yahaya Jahmain was trying his luck, ECOWAS stationed Military and fighter Jets in Senegal with orders to lunch full invasion if he didn't step down within the given time

In this life two things are constant;

1: Ibos would never rule Nigeria in this lifetime or get Biafuro independence (no matter the insults or emotional blackmail)

2: PDP would never Govern Lagos State (even if they get Donald Trump to contest Lagos election)

Know this and know peace.

Ecowas and AU are not serious organization. Military government may be best in some situations since there is no external mechanisms to checkmate rogues democratically elected governments.

One of my problems with the good VP. He's too academically attached that he hardly wants to think outside the box or break the rules.

Democracy is not for Africans. The western worlds imposed it on us. As long as we keep practicing whatever they tell us is the best we will never reach the rest of the world.

That's why countries that made serious change started and practiced a system that is good with thier nature. An African man is not naturally accountable without being seriously supervised.

That is when Africa was ruled by kings, Africa is was the world power. Benin was more advanced than England, musa mansa the richest man, shaka Zulu a great king, Egypt a super power, Timbuktu the center of learning of the world.

But look at where we are now. Forcing ourselves to practice something we don't understand, something that doesn't suit us just because someone forced us to belief its the best and our brains can't accept otherwise.

Democracy remains the only proven best form of Governance for Africa... Few years of Chief Awolowo, Ladoke Akintola, Bola Ige, gave Southwest the edge and advantages it enjoys today

Military Dictatorship killed Nigeria. Completely, and 1999 Democracy is working for states like Lagos, Kano, Oyo , Ogun... In Oyo State citizens can now change political party from APC to PDP when they don't get satiafied, this can't be tried under monarchy or military dictatorship

Tribalism is a disease. It is worse than racism.
I don't promote Osinbajo. Without restructuring, Nigeria remains doom.

It's not Tribalism HELL NO!!!

It's called patriotism towards Nationalism...

No Nation that truly loves it's country would allow people known to start bloody coup, dislodge democracy, start civil war and to cause internal conflicts ever govern it's country

Who killed Akintola and Sardinia?!
Who abolished regionalism?!
Who started the most bloodiest cannibalistic civil war ?!
Who calls Nigeria Zoo
Who call Nigerian President Jibril from Sudan

Funny Professor, Pastor VP!
But your inglorious party can rob the democratically elected through unscrupulous court rulings!?

If the government controlled courts that change a democratically elected governor against the popular wishes of the electorates (as was the cases in Imo and Bayelsa), wither the difference from a coup dè-tât?

You are a toddler, what's this mess you kept writing in this place. Ibo, Biafra, ibo Biafra: this is all you sleep and wake up with. Thank God they never rule, that's why Nigeria still remain a CURSED land and the igbos seems to still be averagely better off than other tribes in this country. Are you presently proud of this country now. Nigeria is economically and technologically bad because an Igbo man is yet to be in the seat of power. NO IGBO PRESIDENT, NO PROSPERITY FOR OTHER PARTS OF NIGERIA.
You have proved that Nigeria cannot do without Biafra, that's why they won't allow them go. Biafra remain the only part of Nigeria that existed for almost three years. Respect Biafrans or they Buy you OFF in your dormot.
