President Bola Tinubu has been re-elected as Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of States and Government for an additional one-year term. The unanimous decision was made by fellow Heads of Government at the 65th Ordinary Session in Abuja on Sunday. Tinubu’s first tenure was set to expire on July 9, 2024.
In his acceptance speech, the President committed to continuing his service, building democratic values, and serving the region’s interests alongside other leaders. This development comes after speculation about his potential re-election, with some sources suggesting he might be chosen for another term.
Tinubu first assumed the role at the 63rd Ordinary Session in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, last July. His re-election solidifies his position as a key leader in the regional bloc, driving ECOWAS’ agenda and promoting cooperation among member states.
