CPC group congratulates Tinubu on emergence as ECOWAS Chairman

A Forum of State Chairmen of the Defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his unanimous endorsement as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

In a statement jointly signed by its National Coordinator, Alhaji Kassim Mabo, and Secretary, Alhaji Sulaiman Abiodun Oyaremi, the group noted that the decision of all the Heads of State in the sub-region to concede the leadership of ECOWAS to our newly sworn-in-President is an attestation of his sterling leadership qualities and a good sign that Nigeria is about to take its rightful place in the comity of Nations.

The group tasked President Bola Tinubu to use his new position to tackle insecurity across the ECOWAS sub-region.

It appealed to all Nigerians to support the government of President Tinubu in his clear commitment to promptly address the various challenges confronting our dear Nation.

“Mr President, without a doubt, the result of the 63rd Ordinary Session of ECOWAS in Guinea-Bissau is a testament to Nigeria’s leadership not only in West Africa but in Africa as a whole.

“We call on Nigerians to pray for the President so that God will give him strength and wisdom to render effective leadership services to the people”, the statement reads.

The support group, which worked for the actualization of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket in the last general election, comprises all 36 former State Chairmen and the FCT of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC).
