President Tinubu has been re-elected for another one-year tenure as chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of States and Government.

Tinubu’s first tenure is to end on Tuesday, July 9, 2024.

The President was re-elected at the 65th Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of States and Government at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Nigeria on Sunday, July 7.

President Tinubu accepted his re-election and appointed the President of Senegal to join in the mediation with Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad.

In his acceptance speech, the President said: “I have accepted to continue to deliver on this service with the great men and women on this democratic journey, to serve our interest and build democratic values on the structure we inherited.”

Tinubu was elected chairman of the Authority at the 63rd Ordinary Session of the regional bloc held last July in Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau.
