In Maiden Speech At AU, Tinubu Says Past Exploitation of Africa... leadershipNGA: Africa
The President warned that past plundering and exploitation of the continent should remain in the past and never be repeated.
Calling for good governance to ensure a prosperous future for Africa, free from the exploitations of the past, President Tinubu said:"As Africans, we forge ahead no matter the barriers thrust before us. "They also mean that visionary good governance is necessary. Some observers assert a new scramble for Africa is afoot and it is much like the old scramble that plundered our continent.
"The fullness of the integration we seek will elude us as long as several of our nations stand in the midst of violence and war. "To address these challenges, the ECOWAS Authority, which I have the honour to chair, has given directive regarding the enhancement of the role of the ECOWAS Standby Force for deployment to fight terrorism and undemocratic changes in government.
He appealed to international partners to assist to provide necessary support that will ensure the restoration of democratic order in these Member-States.
