President Bola Tinubu, Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), has condemned the newly formed alliance of coup leaders in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, calling it “a phantom pushback” intended to distract democracy and good governance in the region.
Speaking at the 64th ordinary session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, Tinubu emphasized the importance of good governance as a tool to prevent military takeovers and promote sustainable development.
