President Bola Tinubu’s tenure as Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government comes to an end on Sunday, July 7, 2024.

According to Persecondnews, Tinubu will hand over the reins to a new leader at the 65th Ordinary Session of the Authority, which is taking place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

In July 2023, the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, unanimously endorsed Tinubu as chairman.

Since then, the Nigerian leader has dealt with challenges, particularly military coups in member states.

The president initially took a strong stance against unconstitutional changes of government in the Niger Republic, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Guinea, imposing sanctions on them.

Buhari led the bloc twice, first as a military head of state and then as a democratically elected president; Tinubu was the eighth Nigerian leader to hold the position.
