Tinubu’s emergence as chairman confirmation of founding fathers vision

A former member of the House of Representatives, Shina Abiola Peller has declared that the emergence of President Tinubu as Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is a confirmation of the vision of the founding fathers of Nigeria.

Peller who represented Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/ Kajola federal constituency between 2019 and 2023 made this declaration on Monday.

Recall that President Tinubu was on Sunday announced as chairman of the sub-regional organisation.

Peller explained that the founding fathers of Nigeria always wanted a Nigeria for Africa, not a Nigeria for Nigerians only.

In a statement made available to Newsmen on Monday, he said Tinubu as chairman of ECOWAS presents a beam of renewed hope for the African continent.

While insisting that the year 2023 will be a turning point for Nigeria, Pellar said, “It is a testament to the vision of our founding fathers who always wanted a Nigeria for Africa, cementing our continued economic and political leadership in the African continent.

“President Bola Tinubu as chairman of ECOWAS presents a beam of renewed hope for the African Continent.

“Like I have always said that 2023 will be a turning point for Nigeria, I’m very confident that President Tinubu’s administration will bring about remarkable changes not only in Nigeria but Africa as a whole”.
