President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf will again lead a top-level delegation of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to The Gambia on Wednesday, January 11. It can be recalled that last month, President Sirleaf led an ECOWAS-leaders delegation, including Presidents Buhari, Koroma and Mr. Mahama to Banjul, the capital of The Gambia, where they met with President Yahya Jammeh, President- elect Barrow and other stakeholders. The meeting came ten days to the January 19 inauguration of President-elect of The Gambia, Mr. Adama Barrow. Last month’s 49th ECOWAS Summit also gave the terms of reference of President Buhari and former President Mahama to include ensuring the safety of President-elect Barrow, the political leaders and the entire population. Monday’s meeting in Abuja followed the one in Accra, Ghana on Saturday, January 7, on the sidelines of the inauguration of that country’s new President, Nana Akufo-Addo.
