Bwala has dismissed the rumours that President Bola Tinubu was responsible for the withdrawal of these countries from the regional bloc.
He has instead attributed the decision to the proxy trade conflicts between Russia/China and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).
In recent days, the military regimes of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger announced their sudden withdrawal from the ECOWAS, citing it as a “sovereign decision.”
However, Daniel Bwala has urged Nigerians to refocus their attention on the nation as a whole, rather than on the rumours and speculations surrounding Tinubu’s leadership or lack thereof.
Daniel Bwala’s statement has shed some light on the real reasons behind the withdrawal of these countries from ECOWAS, which have been the subject of much debate and controversy in recent days.
It is hoped that this new information will help put to rest the rumours and speculations that have been circulating in the media.
“The withdrawal of the three West African nations from @ecowas_cedeao ECOWAS has nothing to do with @officialABAT President Tinubu’s leadership or lack thereof as it is peddled by naysayers. It has everything to do with the dynamics of proxy trade conflicts between @GovernmentRF Russia/China and NATO.
“Nigeria is not at war with both blocs, so we are good and President Tinubu would find a path for lasting peace in ECOWAS.
“Let’s focus on our nation and together as a people we would find solutions to our age long problems.
“Make dem dey there dey and make we dey our dey.”
