Tinubu meets ECOWAS leaders over Coup scare in Niger
President Patrice Talon of Benin Republic on Wednesday arrived at the Presidential Villa in Abuja for a bilateral meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
The visit marks President Talon’s second trip to Abuja in a span of nine days, with his previous visit on July 18 accompanied by two other colleagues, President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger Republic and President Umaro Sissoco Embalo of Guinea-Bissau.
The meeting gains significance amidst the backdrop of President Bazoum’s recent detainment by disgruntled members of the elite Presidential Guard, who are now facing an “ultimatum” from the Army.
Recall that Nigeria’s President Tinubu is the new chairman of the Authority and Heads of State of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Tinubu also took to his verified social media handles at about the same time to explain the reason for the emergency meeting.
