Shina Abiola Peller, a former member of the House of Representatives, has stated that the emergence of President Tinubu as Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is a confirmation of the vision of the founding fathers of Nigeria. Peller made this statement in response to the news that President Tinubu has been elected to the position of ECOWAS Chairman.

This announcement was made on Monday by Peller, who served as the representative for the Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola federal district between 2019 and 2023.

You may recall that it was announced on Sunday that President Tinubu would serve as Chairman of the sub-regional organization.

Peller noted that the men who established Nigeria always desired a Nigeria that included all of Africa, rather than a Nigeria that was reserved exclusively for Nigerians.
