Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, and the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau have agreed that the promotion and protection of Constitutional democratic governance in Africa remains a paramount priority.
The two leaders jointly agreed to promote and protect Constitutional orders in the African continent.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale made these known on Wednesday while speaking on the substantive extended discussion President Tinubu had with Trudeau on the Coup d’etat in Gabon and other military takeovers in some African Countries.
He said; “The two Heads of State mutually agreed that the protection of constitutional democratic governance in Africa is of paranoid priority. The people of Africa living in the diaspora are making a huge impact on the social and political landscapes of countries around the world and the economies of countries around the world and continue to urge the global community to advance the course of democracy on the continent for the sake of the economic prosperity of all Africans.
“So, it is of frontline importance to understand that President Bola Tinubu would continue to engage with Heads of State not just only in the African Union but also around the world and those communications and engagements are ongoing.”
Ngelale further said that “President Tinubu is currently engaging with Heads of State not just within the African Union, but also around the world.”
Soldiers were reported on Wednesday morning to have staged a coup in Libreville, the Gabonese capital, and toppled the government of President Ali Bongo in the Central African nation.
