STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

ECOWAS COUNTRIES TO SHUT ALL BORDERS AGAINST MALI, RECALL AMBASSADORS, REJECT JUNTA’S TRANSITION SCHEDULE*

*Leaders in sub-region have shown commitment to good governance, democratic enterprises, says Osinbajo_

*VP adds: There is clear evidence international community will no longer accept unconstitutional takeover of government


With its latest stand against unconstitutional seizure of power, leaders of member states in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have shown strong resolve and commitment to issues of good governance and democracy in the sub-region, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this on Sunday in Accra, Ghana, where he represented President Muhammadu Buhari at an Extraordinary Summit of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government to discuss the political situation in the Republic of Mali.

At the Summit on Sunday, ECOWAS agreed to impose additional sanctions on the military junta in Mali, withdraw all ECOWAS Ambassadors in the country, and also close land and air borders between ECOWAS Member States and Mali.

The Vice President disclosed that there is a strong resolve by ECOWAS Member States to stand against coup d’états in the sub-region.

Speaking to journalists after the Summit, Prof. Osinbajo said: “what is being done is unprecedented. In the years gone by, the African Union, then known as OAU and ECOWAS, never came down heavily on Coups de'tats; but there is evidence now that there is a very strong resolve that ECOWAS and, indeed, AU and the international community will not accept unconstitutional take over of government."

Continuing, Prof. Osinbajo said, "it's very evident that there is very strong resolve, which is why we are here today. We expect that the actions that will be taken will point the junta in Mali in the right direction."

"I think ECOWAS has shown that it has not lost its bite where there are concerns about issues of good governance and democratic enterprises in the sub-region, which is why sanctions against Guinea and Mali were imposed.”

After reviewing the situation in Mali at the Extraordinary Summit, the sub-regional leaders rejected the transition schedule proposed by the Malian military junta, noting that "the proposed chronogram for a transition is totally unacceptable".

The body also imposed additional sanctions on the junta, including the following:

a) Withdrawal of all ECOWAS Ambassadors in Mali;

b) Closure of land and air borders between ECOWAS countries and Mali;

c) Suspension of all commercial and financial transactions between ECOWAS Member States and Mali, with the exception of the following products: essential consumer goods; pharmaceutical products; medical supplies and equipment, including materials for the control of COVID-19 products, and electricity

d) Freeze of assets of the Republic of Mali in ECOWAS Central Banks;

e) Freeze of assets of the Malian State and the State Enterprises and Parastatals in Commercial Banks

f) Suspension of Mali from all financial assistance and transactions from financial institutions.

The communique also disclosed that the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government "instructs all Community institutions to take steps to implement these sanctions with immediate effect."

Noting that the sanctions will only be gradually lifted "after an acceptable and agreed transition chronogram is finalised and monitored-satisfactory progress is realised in the implementation of the chronogram for the elections."

Regarding Guinea, ECOWAS noted that it remained concerned about the slow progress of the transition process four months after the coup.

According to the Communique issued at the end of the meeting, "The Authority regrets the absence of chronogram for the election and the non-setting up of the National Council of Transition (CNT). It also directs that a mission be fielded to Conakry to discuss the transition."

Earlier in his remarks at the opening session of the Summit, Chairman of ECOWAS, President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana, praised the commitment and support of West African leaders to the progress and prosperity of the sub-region.

Recalling the efforts of the leaders in resolving the crisis in parts of the sub-region, President Akufo-Addo said, “as you did through the entire year of 2021, you continue to demonstrate your commitment to responding to urgent and critical evolving situations in the region.

“This is the 6th Extraordinary Summit since I assumed the chair of the Authority that Your Excellencies have participated in concerning the vexed issues of Mali and Guinea. It is a strong testimony to your leadership and concern to the progress of ECOWAS.”

Aside from Vice President Osinbajo and the Ghanaian President - who presided at the Summit, other West African leaders present at the Summit were Presidents Macky Sall of Senegal; George Weah of Liberia; Patrice Talon of Benin Republic; Roch Marc Christian Kaboré of Burkina Faso, and Alassane Ouattara of Cote d'Ivoire.

Other Heads of State present include Umaro Embalò of the Republic of Guinea Bissau; Mohamed Bazoum of Niger Republic; Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone, and the Vice President of The Gambia, Isatou Touray.

The session was also attended by former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, who is the ECOWAS Mediator for Mali; the President of the ECOWAS Commission, Mr Jean-Claude Kassi Brou; among other representatives of international organisations.

Are they sincere?

What NA cannot refute does not exist .

MIKOLOWISKA:


Stupid you mean
Not brave



Why one person challenge 5 soldiers in a shithole country?
Is that wise?



Is it wise to challenge people who have been humiliated by another but you don't have enough power to do same?



Define reasonable



Really
Are you a soldier?
What defines a good soldier?



So is the police man equating himself to Boko?
It is wise to stay in your lane in this life
Don't bite more than you can chew
The soldiers can chew police and civilians easily
That's just life

You don't see hyenas tackling lions

But they attack chickens easily

USA ran away from Vietnam
From Somalia
From Afghanistan
Soon from Iraq
Could not cough in Egypt Libya or Syria
I won't even mention north Korea or china

You must be or your father is one of those coward soldiers,who joined the army because of stomach infrastructure,keep running your mouth up and down.

Osmomoh:
Many Nigerians don't do research that is why they speak and comments anyhow. Research how Nigeria soldiers start, you will be surprised to know that it all started as Hausa legion which later metamorphosis to Nigeria soldiers. So never expect anything good from that sector.

Yes!Hausa constabulary,the British use them to quash revolt and since then, there have been no reform...

Starz825:
You hardly see air force men behave like this ..
Always this Land armies

Who told you that.There are all the same..be like you never jam!!

Ishitinyourlife:

Including those soldiers who die for Thier country too fighting terrorists that would have skinned you alive and behead your families after raping them abi. Seeing as the bravest thing you've ever done in your life is kill mosquitoes. What I'm trying to say is that you're a dumb bastard

Olodo!!nigerias' uniform men have killed more Nigerian than boko haram,arm robbers have killed.

NOETHNICITY:
That's not even a policeman, he's a traffic warden. His own is to control traffic simple

He his still a police officer .

thisfemi:
Yes that is our military, one of the reflections of our society. Even an army of occupation cannot be worse than the Nigerian military men to Nigerian citizens.

The other day some ex soldiers were protesting and some people in this firum were wasting empathy on them!! You see it ..!!

DubaiLandLord:
The policeman is so brave

See as four to five soldiers face just a single person

This same soldiers will cry like young girls about how they are not well equipped if they are to face ISWAP.

If them asked the soldiers wetin the policeman do them now, they won't have any reasonable reply

Been a good soldier no be by been brutal or been aggressive.

With all this brutality, aggressiveness and frowning of face, they are still struggling against Boko Haram in the North East.

I doubt if ISWAP haven't overrun one of their camp this year

British, German, American, Japanese, Chinese military are not this brutal to their civilians, yet they are far far far more competent than the Nigerian army.

You can't even see American soldier in public!

If them no follow orders from their superior they would be court-martial and either dismissed from the army or their ranks would be demoted.\

They should have followed their conscience if they had any and exit the system..anyway most folks joining the army don't have the luxury of choice,either they join or remain jobless..

Joseph08:
They're no more wearing military uniforms, they thought they won't retire.

A good learning curve to those still shouting 'bloody civilian' up and down as we speak.

This is just a business idea, you don't actually run keke business.

All you put was the cost of buying one. Removed all the main expenses that can be eating into profits. & Then put how much could be made.

Very impractical. Plans or ideas on paper is not the same in real life.


Like all biz there are uncertain days,the 5k daily returns he posted above might not be possible to make in a difficult day.Police and tout wahala makes the business sometime difficult to run with profit.

Ask the OP who described him as courageous mofo.

RichDad1:
These murdering terrorists should be flushed out of the face of the earth.


But just yesterday, the US issued a stern warning to Nigeria about the operation of the Super Tucanos in the NW & NC. This makes me wonders if there are some external supports to this bandits issue. Because I don’t know why anyone should be sympathetic towards these murders.

Because the US knows NAF is a Terrorist organisation on its own right..they can turn the jet on hapless civilian when the Terrorist don de score point.

By the time this school is eventually open, I doubt they will have up to 10% of their students still with them.

The school go have to change the name first after all this wahala dies down(I'm talking this way base on the autopsy report)



We Nigerians must do our positive best to be objective about this issue, there is absolutely no reason the Lagos state government would have lied about the autopsy report.

the autopsy was not done by professionals from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital alone, it was done alongside professionals from Central Hospital, Warri.

It is like you just landed from the moon!!!

This is too shallow, irrational and nomadic. I hope somebody will explain to you at the level you can understand - your level. You said the President is not the CSO of the Country but he swore to an Oath to protect the Country. The Armed Forces and Police are under the President.

Read books on the meaning of the Executive President and Executive Governor in a Federal System of government.

I am off again for a week or more on self exile from nairaland. Bye

That tribal bigot is being sponsored to paint this narrative on this learnt forum.Ignore him!!

ArewaNorth:




The military did not write any constitution — apart from promulgating the enabling decrees.
On November 11, 1998, Abdulsalami inaugurated the Constitution Debate Co-ordinating Committee (CDCC) to “pilot the debate, co-ordinate and collate views and recommendations canvassed by individuals and groups and submit report not later than 31 December 1998”. It was not headed by a soldier but by Justice Niki Tobi, with Dr. Suleiman Kurmo as deputy chairman. There was no single military man on the committee. They went round the country to collect memoranda from the public through town hall meetings in Benin, Enugu, Jos, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Kano, Ibadan, Lagos and Sokoto. They excluded military formations.

After all the frenetic debates — up and down, north and south, east and west — the Tobi committee submitted its report to the military government. Tobi said: “In the light of the memoranda and the oral presentation on the 1995 Draft Constitution, it is clear that Nigerians basically opt for the 1979 Constitution with relevant amendments. They want it, and they have copiously given their reasons for their choice in the different memoranda and oral presentations.
So they recommended to the Provisional Ruling Council the adoption of the 1979 Constitution with relevant amendments from the 1995 Draft Constitution.” Abdulsalami accepted the recommendation.
When the 1999 constitution was finally published, three of them sat down and placed it side by side with the 1979 constitution. They then did a clause-by-clause analysis. The trio were: Mr. Victor Ifijeh (the current MD of The Nation newspaper who was THISDAY editor then), Alhaji Yusuph Olaniyonu (SA to Senate President Bukola Saraki who was THISDAY politics editor at the time) and THISDAY features editor. They did a word-for-word reading and laughed themselves to stupor: this is pure plagiarism of the 1979 constitution!
There were only a few notable differences in the two documents, such as the 13% derivation for oil-producing states and the number of states in the federation. While the 1979 constitution spoke about 19 states, 1999 said 36 states, logically. They were only reflecting the realities on ground. FEDECO in the 1979 document changed to INEC in 1999 constitution therefore it can be concluded that the 1999 constitution is a replica of the 1979 constitution.
The biggest irony abt the contentious nature of our constitution is the vicious condemnation of the 1999 constitution by some prominent Nigerians who mostly took part in the previous constitution starting committees or got favour & protection by the system.


Those who believed that the constitution was imposed or dictated by military are just insulting the wisdom and character of their forefathers for accepting what is imposed on them by chairing the committee and drafting what they reject!

Don't you think they were being teleguided?

Yankee101:
Of course not

The IGP is not superior, but still, can't take orders from state governor directly


The powers of the federation are derived from the states, any constitutional ratification is done by state assemblies

If not for the north playing for its own, let all the states unite and see which laws can't be changed or a president removed talkless of an IGP

And IGp is just a mere appointee of the president who can be fired at the pleasure of the president,he does not wield executive power just a head of law enforcement mechanism of a state..The governor cannot be fired by the president and wield executive power of the state..

ivolt:

Don't be confused, the governors are not ministers in any guise.
They head an independent level of government.

Yo de mind that confused man who thinks he can misinform this learnt forum.

orisa37:



THE IGP IS A SECRETARY OF STATE FOR SECURITY AND IN THE SAME WAY AS THE CURRENT MINISTERS ARE SECRETARIES OF STATES TO THE PRESIDING FEDERAL GOVERNOR (MR PRESIDENT). THE GOVERNORS ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPAL MINISTERS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

The weed you de take strong sha!!
