Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, has commended President Julius Maada Bio for inviting former President Ernest Bai Koroma to attend the recent ECOWAS Summit, describing the gesture as a reflection of political maturity and statesmanship.
Speaking on the sidelines of the high-level regional meeting, President Mahama said the decision demonstrated a commitment to unity, reconciliation, and democratic tolerance, adding that Sierra Leone continues to provide a positive example within the West African sub-region.
The 69th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, held in Lungi, Sierra Leone, brought together regional leaders to deliberate on key issues affecting West Africa, including security challenges, democratic governance, economic cooperation, and constitutional order.
Discussions at the summit focused on rising insecurity, particularly in the Sahel region, with leaders emphasising the need for stronger regional collaboration in addressing terrorism and political instability. They also highlighted the importance of strengthening democratic institutions, respecting constitutional frameworks, and promoting inclusive governance.
