APC hails ECOWAS, Buhari over reinstatement of Burkina Faso govt

The All Progressives Congress on Thursday commended the Economic Community of West African States for its leadership role in restoring the transitional order in Burkina Faso.

It also hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for hosting the Extraordinary Summit of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government that took the decision to reinstate Interim President Michel Kafando, who was ousted by his country’s Presidential Guards.

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, National Publicity Secretary of the party, said in a statement in Lagos that the move was a positive development for democracy, peace and stability in West Africa.

The statement said the regional bloc’s insistence on the strict adherence to its Protocol on democracy and good governance which had zero tolerance for power obtained by unconstitutional means was commendable.
