Oba of Benin Visits President Tinubu in Aso Rock

By Wale Asake

Presidents of Benin, Niger, and Guinea-Bissau Have arrived at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, to visit their counterpart, President Bola Tinubu. ⁣

President Patrice Talon of Benin, Mohamed Bazoum of Niger, and Umaro Embaló of Guinea-Bissau were received on Tuesday by the President at the forecourt of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.⁣

Soon afterward, he led the West African leaders into a private session at his office. ⁣

The leaders are expected to discuss security and economic development in the sub-region.⁣

Tinubu is likely to reiterate his stance on defending democracy in the subregion given the spate of coups in recent years. ⁣

Guinea-Bissau had survived an attempted coup in February 2022.

However, the civilian governments of Guinea, Mali and Burkina Faso had been toppled between 2019 and 2022.
