President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday in Accra declared that democracy had come to stay in West Africa.

In his valedictory speech at the 47th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, he also urged regional leaders to support the incoming administration in Nigeria, led by President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.

Jonathan said he felt deeply satisfied that the tree of democracy planted in Nigeria and the sub-region had ``taken roots and blossoming’’.
