| Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed | |
| Tinubu has called on his Senegalese counterpart to reach out to neighbouring | |
| countries planning to pull out of the regional bloc and persuade them to return | |
| to the fold. | |
| He made the call in Abuja on | |
| Thursday while playing host to President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. | |
| President Tinubu was referring | |
| to Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, which are all under | |
| military rule after recent coups. | |
| Ecowas is struggling to keep its | |
| members united after the junta-led countries announced in January that they | |
| would be quitting the bloc and went ahead to form the Alliance of Sahelian | |
| States. | |
| “As the chairman of Ecowas, I am | |
| inviting you to collaborate and meet those other brothers. To persuade them to | |
| come back to the fold,” President Tinubu said at the meeting. | |
| The Nigerian president also | |
| called for an alignment in West Africa to effectively address the challenges | |
| confronting the region, including “terrorism, banditry, human trafficking, and | |
| poverty”. | |
| Mr Faye called for the | |
| reactivation of the Nigeria-Senegal joint commission to strengthen bilateral | |
| relations across the areas of diplomacy, trade, and other spheres. | |
| He said the two countries and their neighbours | |
| could work together and “discuss with our brothers and convince them to come back | |
| into the fold. To come back and share our common democratic values and what we | |
| stand for.” | |
