President Muhammadu Buhari has emphasized the need for accountability and good neighbourliness in both the sub-region, and on the African continent. He made the call on Friday when he met with the President of ECOWAS Commission and Chairperson of the African Union Commission, at State House, Abuja. “Thanks for being firm, and for insisting on transparency and accountability at the ECOWAS headquarters,” President Buhari said, adding that Nigeria would continue to fulfill its obligations to the sub-regional body. His words:“Without President Buhari, and without Nigeria, many things would not have been possible. We need Africa to speak with one voice, and the voice of Nigeria is preponderant.”
