I am reading this on behalf of the ​Heads of ​State and
Government of ECOWAS, at our 47th meeting in Accra.

We pay a vibrant tribute to His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for the
determination he demonstrated during his tenure as Head of State and for all
the necessary reforms for the development of his Country.

outstanding contribution to ​the ​deepening of the integration process in West
Africa and the preservation of Peace and Security in our Region, particularly
in the qualities he demonstrated as Chairman of ECOWAS and Chairman of the

Futhermore, we wish to express our warmest congratulations
for his exemplary democratic behaviour expected of a Statesman that contributed
in a decisive way to the maintenance of peace that followed the ​declaration​
