The Committee of Diaspora Chairmen has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his emergence as the new Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Chairman of the CDC, Tunde Doherty expressed a strong conviction that Tinubu’s vast experience on diaspora matters will greatly enhance and foster the development of ECOWAS.
Doherty also urges the president to leverage his position to further engage with Africans in the diaspora, recognizing their immense potential in driving sustainable development and fostering stronger ties between West Africa and the rest of the world.
“His understanding of the diaspora’s aspirations, concerns, and contributions will undoubtedly enrich ECOWAS’ agenda and ensure inclusive development for all.
We commend his dedication to democratic principles, good governance, and the rule of law. His previous achievements as a respected statesman, political leader, and advocate for social justice have left an indelible mark on the political landscape of Nigeria and beyond. We are confident that his tenure as ECOWAS Chairman will further enhance these values across the West African region,” he said.
