“Sad And Unfortunate”: Femi Fani-Kayode Reacts To Military Rulers Of Mali, Niger, And Burkina Faso Withdrawing From ECOWAS
Femi Fani-Kayode expressed his reaction to the recent reports on the withdrawal of military rulers from 3 West African nations—Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso—from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) under the leadership of President Tinubu, who serves as the ECOWAS Chairman.
On Sunday, it was reported that the military regimes of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso have jointly declared their immediate withdrawal from ECOWAS. This announcement was conveyed through a joint statement read out on Niger national television, marking a significant shift in the political dynamics of the region.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Femi Fani-Kayode shared his thoughts: “The withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Mali from ECOWAS is a sad and unfortunate development. The fact that they have formed a hostile confederation right on our northern border is also troubling and has grave implications for our security. May God restore the brotherhood and unity we once enjoyed in our sub-region, and may He preserve the peace.”
