President Goodluck Jonathan will travel to Ouagadougou tomorrow as a member of the three-man delegation of Heads of State and Government raised by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to facilitate the rapid resolution of the current political crisis in Burkina Faso.
Other members of the delegation
of ECOWAS leaders are President Macky Sall of Senegal and President John Mahama
of Ghana who is the current Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State
and Government.
During their one-day visit to Ouagadougou,
President Jonathan and his Ghanaian and Senegalese counterparts are expected to
meet with Burkina Faso’s interim Head of State, Lt.-Col. Isaac Zida, opposition
leaders, members of civil society and other political stakeholders in the
country.
Recent political turmoil in Burkina
Faso led to the resignation of former President Blaise Compaore and the
assumption of power by Lt.-Col. Zida
The African Union’s democratic charter requires
its 54 member-states to act against the forceful overthrow of elected
governments on the continent.
The Union has given the Burkina Faso military an
ultimatum to transfer power back to a civilian administration within two weeks
or face sanctions.
President Jonathan will be
accompanied to Ouagadougou by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr.
Nurudeen Mohammed and some of his principal aides and advisers.

The Igbos have a proverb: 'onye uno ya na gba oku, ona chu oke?' (I hope I said that right!) The translation: A person whose house is on fire doesn't go about chasing rats! Boko Haram is seizing states and facilities and ransacking police stations and army barracks, yet our President is busy outside playing leader! Mmmm opuru ezi di mma!
May God help us with our internal crisis too cos we have no one to talk to.
BORN TO SHINE!!!

Although oloriburuku ni GEJ yi,however jst one day without our clueless oga won't make any difference, person wey dey country like say we no get president.

And boko haram dey wreck havoc here.... #IronyOfLife..
Crisis in Burkina faso when his own house is burning? This man is a joke.
Nigerians better behave themselves well and vote this president out in the next election. until the entire northern states become Boko Haram states before international community hold talks on our own Nigerian crisis. MTCHEWWWWW!!!
I believe GEJ knows what he's doing, we Nigerians think he's weak or can't tackle boko haram? He's doing nothing so boko haram can destroy many part of the north so as to weaken the voting strength of the northerners. Let boko haram attack bayelsa, you will see quick response from our military. GEJ is also equipping Niger Delta region as he knows that he can't win 2015 general election and they control the larger part of our economy, Niger delta is ready to go, come 2015 I hope there will still be a republic but with GEJ'S selfishness i don't think there will still be Nigeria. His administration is so corrupt and terrible and people are so tired of his recklessness, we say we don't want him to rule us and he insist in ruling us, isn't that forcing himself over us, if we say GEJ remember there will be history, he doesn't care because he doesn't have a child of his own so his son is never going to rule the country. Please vote him out in the coming election.
GEJ is the most incompetent president ever in our history. Imagine ignoring the inferno in his own country and traveling to put out the smoke in another man's land.
Who do advice this man? and why will he not just make use of his own God given brain,Nigerian r becoming refugees under ur leadership n his busy dancing naked outside,is Ecowas blind to the happenings in nigeria that they can't come to ur aid or they feel we don't what the help.
Charity begins at home.We have a bigger right here.There is no need for the President to go for any peace talk outside our boarder.
Yeye president, his own house is on fire, he still have the effrontery to go nd put out another person's fire. The one happening here doesn't concern him, he has counted it as everyday thing in Nigeria so it doesn't concern him. Yet some people without eyes are still campaigning for him to come back, not in this Nigeria again. Who want to be under his leadership for another 4 years? (God forbid what am thinking)
We should watch our back so that we, as a country, don't head in that direction too.
He is panicking he knows that if the military succeed in Burkina Faso they may also succeed here. Nigerians had better VOTE THIS MAN OUT HE IS A TRAIN WRECK AND KEEPS GOING DOWN
Hope they include the ongoing crisis in Nigeria. It is becoming a serious issue.
Lol! Looks like they are avoiding the Liberian president, Ebola wahala! I no wan Laugh abeg.
