President Tinubu Calls For Suspension Of Sanctions On Guinea, Mali, Niger, And B by SALLYBERRY01(m): 5:02pm On Feb 24 |
STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT TINUBU CALLS FOR SUSPENSION OF SANCTIONS ON GUINEA, MALI, NIGER, AND BURKINA FASO President Bola Tinubu has called for the suspension of economic sanctions imposed on Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea by ECOWAS. Speaking at the Extra-ordinary Summit of ECOWAS in Abuja on Saturday, President Tinubu, who is the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the organization, stated that: “Everything we did was in hopes of persuading our brothers that there existed a better path, a path that would lead to genuine improvement of their people’s welfare through democratic good governance. And this was a path each of our nations had solemnly agreed with one another pursuant to formal regional treaty and protocol. “However, the sanctions that we contemplated might help lead our brothers to the negotiating table have become a harsh stumbling block. In my mind and heart, that which is hurtful yet ineffective serves no good purpose and should be abandoned. "ECOWAS was established for the unassailable objective of improving the lives of the people of this region through fraternal cooperation among all member states. This edifice was cemented on the strong foundation and apt conviction that, united as one, we can be the true masters of our destiny." The President further explained that ECOWAS took the steps it did based on the regional ideals of security, social stability; democratic governance, political freedom, broad-based prosperity, and sustainable economic development through fair opportunity for each and every one in West Africa. He said neither hatred nor hidden motive influenced the steps taken and that there was never any intention to douse or undermine the legitimate political aspirations of any member state or to advance the interests of any outside party. In calling for the suspension of sanctions, President Tinubu stressed that: "We must take note of the approach of the holy month of Ramadan and of Lent. Whether you pray in the mosque or in the church, this represents a time for compassion, hope, and harmony. It is a time that we must not only seek God but also a closer relationship with brother and neighbour. "In the Spirit of the holy month and of the Lenten period, and with hearts bestirred by goodwill towards all our people, let us extend a hand as brothers and friends to those in Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea. "What I suggest in real and practical terms is that we, my colleagues and fellow heads of state in ECOWAS, indefinitely suspend economic sanctions against Niger, Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso and against the leadership of the military authorities in those nations." 20 Likes 4 Shares

Initial gra'gra no pay. Tinubu is not a sensible person. He speaks and acts before using his brains. That was how he started without thinking. Without thinking you removed subsidies. Without thinking you float Naira. Without thinking you suspend Niger, Mali and Burkina-Faso. Now everything went south, it is now Tinubu starts thinking. 195 Likes 18 Shares |

Nigerians elected a senile old druggie to run their country. The current hunger and suffering are needed to reset the brains of coward Nigerians. I’ve always known Nigerians to be cowards and they are enjoying the sufferings that would last a lifetime 51 Likes 3 Shares |

SALLYBERRY01:In the world of geopolitics and international relations... That's very statesmanlike. NOTE: The decision to suspend Niger was a joint ECOWAS decision taken by ALL the Presidents and NOT an individual decision taken by the Nigerian President. This is to correct the misinformation of the poster above me and his dishonest ilk. In the final analysis, negotiation skills have to kick in whenever there are crises situations around the world. Emotional intelligence is key in every human interaction for sustainable development. The military must be encouraged to return to democracy at the shortest possible time with sanctions lifted gradually to enable full integration into ECOWAS in the light of several capital projects such as the international gas export pipeline project passing through Niger Republic to Algeria via Nigeria which will have huge economic significance in West Africa for gas exports to Europe. There's still a 50/50 chance those 3 countries of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso would still go ahead with the plan for their own confederate state or union. If they do go ahead then they'll have to go through some "birth pangs"... Just like Senegal and Gambia that fused to form Senegambia but later broke up again to become independent of each other. Singapore and Malaysia also fused into one union in the 1960s but later went their separate ways with Singapore majorly being the better for it under the guidance and leadership of the late Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew who took that city-state from a developing nation of about 3 major ethnicities of Chinese (over 80 percent), Malays, and Indians, to a world-class, technologically and economically advanced nation. 13 Likes 4 Shares |
