President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday hosted former President Goodluck Jonathan who briefed him on some political developments in West Africa and some other parts of Africa.
Jonathan is the Special Envoy of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to Mali.
The former Nigerian leader said he was at the State House in Abuja to relay to President Tinubu the outcomes of discussions he had with other members of the West African Elders’ Forum, which he chairs.
“I came to brief the President on the activities of some continental and sub-continental bodies. You know, I am the ECOWAS Mediator for Mali and the Chairman of the West African Elders’ Forum.
“So, there are certain issues bordering on the continent and the sub-region that I discuss with various presidents”, he said.
Members of Mali’s security forces had, on 11 June, cast their ballots ahead of the new constitution referendum slated for 18 June.
The referendum is considered to be a major milestone in the line-up to elections planned for February 2024.
