Nigerian President and Chairperson of ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, Bola Tinubu, has said that good governance can help prevent coups in the West African sub-region.
Mr Tinubu, therefore, implored his counterparts in the region to prioritise good governance and collective prosperity as an essential tool to prevent unconstitutional changes of government in the region.
The Nigerian President was speaking at the 64th ordinary session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government held in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria.
In a press release by his media adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, on Sunday, Mr Tinubu also used the occasion to applaud President George Weah of Liberia for conceding victory and congratulating his opponent during the last presidential election in Liberia.
