As ecoas nails, it's fitted an eventsary. In twenty twenty five, President Tenable urged member states to recommit to the BLOGS founding idols of economic integration, peace and prosperity. As a regional community, we must maintain our fundamental responsibility to protect our citizens and create an enabling environment where they can prosper.

leaders should learn from ganar recent presidential election. And one of the responders on what to show or Lagusi or a written Immanuel said they are assimil to Borla amed Tenable with all due respect and in the spirit of patriotism.

If Nigerians should learn from the last Ganna's presidential election and also and would let the Ganner's democratic practice following a successful presidential and parliamentary elections in the country by her Electoral Commission, just as you have rightly oshed to Echo as Leaders to follow suite, then you would definitely be massively rejected in the twenty twenty seven Nigeria's presidential

election by the well winning Nigerian citizens. Provided the inch Chairman would not use his good office to compromise or manipulate the election results of the concerned, dying, frustrated, impoverished,

suffering and suppressed Nigerian citizens. Harnessly speaking, they are asymotial borla a meth Tellabu, you have performed wrefully as the Nigeria's president in the last one and a half years in office after you have drank power with no clear direction, purpose, vigion and effective leadership of your renewed hope with a view to delivering significant and tangible dividends of democracy for

the masses. However, as far as I am concerned, they only tail that would make you win the twenty twenty seven Nigerian presidential election is for inc Nigeria to ring the election in your favor again against the respect for our wish of the good people of Nigeria.
