In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by the Communication OfficerAUDA-NEPAD Nigeria, Marcel Anyatonwu said the unanimous endorsement of President Tinubu was a clear indication that the ECOWAS sub-region as well as Africa believe in the capacity and capability of the President to provide purposeful leadership in steering the sub-region out of its economic challenges and to improve multi-lateral relationship amongst member states, as well as promote democracy and good governance.
According to the statement, “With the statement made by the president in his acceptance speech, it’s clear that he understands very clearly the challenges of the Sub-region and has pledged to work with his colleagues in coming up with workable solutions in addressing them.

LG autonomy: Soludo’s action threat to democracy – BAVCCA warns
The Bloggers and Vloggers, Content Creators Association (BAVCCA) has raised alarm over the actions of Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, which they consider a direct threat to Nigeria’s democratic foundations.
At a press conference held on Friday, October 18, 2024, the National Spokesperson of the association, Ada Onoja, expressed deep concern over Governor Soludo’s disregard for the recent Supreme Court judgment on local government autonomy.
Ms. Onoja described his actions as a “direct affront to our legal system and a blatant act of defiance against the highest court in the land.”
She highlighted several points of concern, including the subversion of local government autonomy, threat to democratic processes, political repercussions for President Tinubu, economic and social implications, and a call to citizens to demand accountability from elected officials.
The BAVCCA spokesperson, however, urged President Tinubu to take a firm stand in upholding the rule of law, warning that failure to do so may embolden other state leaders to act similarly, further weakening Nigeria’s democracy and governance.
She also called on all Nigerians to hold elected officials accountable for their actions and to champion the rule of law to ensure that democracy thrives in Nigeria.
