Ghanaian President, JOHN MAHAMA, yesterday visited his Nigerian counterpart, BOLA TINUBU, at the State House in Abuja to brief him on his recent diplomatic efforts with the military junta leaders of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, aimed at addressing regional security and stability. 

Briefing newsmen, the Ghanaian leaderacknowledged the complexities of the regional issue but assured that with continued constructive dialogue, all pending issues between the Alliance of Sahel States and the Economic Community of West African States will be resolved.

 Responding, TINUBU said his talks with the three Alliance of Sahel States were essential to safeguarding lives and fostering prosperity across the region.

 Recall that relations between ECOWAS and the three Sahel countries have been tense since the military seized power in Niger in 2023, Burkina Faso in 2022 and Mali in 2020.
