President Bola Tinubu has pledged his support for a proposal for the direct election of members into the parliament of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Tinubu, the Chairman of ECOWAS, stated this on Thursday when he swore in 97 members into the 6th ECOWAS parliament at the International
Conference Centre in Abuja.
He told members of the sixth ECOWAS Parliament that Nigeria, as the community’s host, “will continue to support you to achieve your objectives.” His remarks were made against the backdrop of the ECOWAS parliament being filled with current parliamentarians from the 15 member states.
