Tinubu Sends Senegal’s 44-Year-Old President Faye To ‘Persuade’ Coup Leaders After Failed ECOWAS Sanctions

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has called on Senegal’s 44-year-old President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to help persuade the military leaders who staged coups in several West African nations to return to constitutional democratic rule.

During Faye’s visit to the State House in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu, who doubles as the chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), stressed the importance of protecting democratic governance and constitutional order across the region.
