Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on West African leaders to learn from Ghana’s exemplary peaceful election practices, praising the country for its commitment to national unity and democratic maturity.



Speaking at the opening of the 66th Ordinary Session of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Abuja, Tinubu commended President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Ghanaian people for their successful presidential and parliamentary elections held on December 7, 2024.



“I urge all of us in the region to learn from this good democratic practice and prioritize our country’s national unity to ensure the political stability of the region,” Tinubu stated. 



He emphasized that such peaceful transitions should become the norm in West Africa and across the African continent.



As ECOWAS approaches its 50th anniversary in 2025, Tinubu called on member states to reaffirm their commitment to the bloc’s principles of economic integration, peace, and prosperity.







 He underscored the importance of security, stating, “Security is not a luxury but a necessity,” and highlighted that improving living standards for citizens is not merely an aspiration but an obligation for leaders.



The session saw participation from leaders of Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, and Senegal. 



Sierra Leone was represented by its Vice President, while Benin, Togo, and Cape Verde sent senior officials.
