“Let me seize this opportunity to reiterate my commitment to free, fair and transparent elections and smooth transitions.

“The vision of the founding fathers of ECOWAS was to have a West Africa that is integrated economically with harmonised policies, enjoying the free movement of persons, goods and services, as well as the seamless right to establishment.

“We must continue to strive harder to attain those objectives.

“Let us take advantage of existing mechanisms and our enterprising population to turn our dreams into reality.
