Osinbajo is the right man strengthening the cordial relationship between west Africa and Africa nations.

A man with mission and vision ;build the cordial relationship among other countries, safe trip

Africa leaders need to think outside the box, every time there is international conference or summit organise by the whites, you see them asking for financial supports and debt relief....this is not good at all....we can develop this continent without this people if we are truly ready.

There should be more commissions like these amongst African Countries to support several member States.
