A legal luminary, Dr Kayode Ajulo, has expressed optimism in the ability of President Bola Tinubu as ECOWAS president.
Ajulo is the the founder of Egalitarian Mission for Africa, a non-governmental organisation that is a certified observer of ECOWAS.
He said president Tinubu tenure will promote economic growth of the region, trans border security and entrenchment of rule of law among member states.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja following the emergence of Tinubu as ECOWAS chairman at the just concluded 63rd Ordinary Session, which held in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau.
Ajulo, portrayed the new development as a major occurrence that would return Nigeria to its natural status of leadership in the West African sub-region and African continent.
He added that the new development is capable of inspiring Nigerians into total cooperation and absolute faith in the new leadership of the country.
The statement partly reads:“I am hopeful Mr President will keep to his words, so Nigeria, as well as other ECOWAS member states can benefit immensely from his visionary and purposeful leadership.
”I congratulate Mr President and wish him, the government and good people of Federal Republic of Nigeria a successful reign.” Ajulo said.
