STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

President Muhammadu Buhari would be represented by his deputy, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, at the 2nd Extraordinary  Summit of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government on the political situation in the Republic of Guinea today.

Prof. Osinbajo had participated last week at the previous ECOWAS Extraordinary Summit on the political situation in Guinea and Mali. That meeting was held virtually on the 8th of September.

The Authority decided then that Guinea be immediately suspended from all ECOWAS governing bodies and statutory meetings. ECOWAS leaders had also called for the immediate and unconditional release of President Alpha Conde and other arrested persons; demanded the immediate return of Guinea to constitutional order; and decided to immediately dispatch a high-level ECOWAS mission to Guinea to assess the situation.

The physical meeting taking place today will review the situation in Guinea in light of the report of the ECOWAS high-level mission to Conakry.


The Vice President who leaves Abuja this morning would be accompanied by the Foreign Affairs Minister of State, Ambassador Zubairu Dada and is expected back in Abuja later today.

Trust Osinbajo to represent Mr President well

As time don reach to speak English... Dem go send Osinbajo because them know say Bubu fit go fall person hand for there.

We wait for the outcome of the meeting, especially with the VP suggestions that were put on the table in their last meeting .

The situation of things in Guinea call for urgent and serious attention . We wish the Vice president safe trip.

When it comes to international affairs and deplomacy, Osibanjo will represent Nigeria, but when it comes to Nepotism and internal affairs Osibanjo will be fence out.

We do hope his quality representation and his extempore speech at the meeting will bring a drastic reduction to the soaring cost of cooking gas in Nigeria.

I'm very sure with the VP present in the meeting we expect great results.

represent well and have safe trip
