The Nigerian President, Ahmed Bola Tinubu who appreciated the decision of fellow African leaders to jointly appoint him as their leader promised to do his best.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Tinubu has described the honour as a surprise and pledged to uphold the confidence reposed in him.<\/p>\n

Democracy though tough as it may, there is the need to commit to it for the growth of the region. He said.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

“Democracy is very tough to manage, but it is the best form of government, and we all ascribe to it. \u201cWe should make a pledge here that in furtherance of our region\u2019s economy and growth, we will commit to democracy, and promote democracy, and rule of law.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cWe must bounce back. We can\u2019t sit like toothless bulldogs in ECOWAS. \u201cFor the confidence reposed in me, I pledge to you Your Excellencies, distinguished ladies and gentleman, that I would do my best. \u201cI\u2019m just new. This is my first; I\u2019m given a surprise package, We would work collectively to pursue inclusive economic integration of West Africa region.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\u201cWe should serve a warning to exploiters that our people have suffered enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

The new Chairman also emphasized on the need to keeping the West Africa sub-region a peaceful entity.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cWe will not allow coup after coup in West Africa sub-region. \u201cWe will take this up seriously, with African Union (AU), and extended [sic] to the European Union (EU), and Britain, and America. \u201cTake it up. Yes, it\u2019s a challenge.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

The president took over the Chairmanship of the regional body from the outgoing leader of the sub-regional political and economic body, President Umaro Sissoco Embal\u00f3 of Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n
