BALTIMORE, MD (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – President Muhammadu Buhari will Tuesday host an Extraordinary Summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Authority of Heads of State and Government, in Abuja.

In a statement issued Monday by Buhari’s SSA on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the main item on the agenda of the summit is the current political situation in Burkina Faso.

Recall that last week soldiers from the elite presidential guard (RSP) burst into a cabinet meeting and seized interim President Michel Kafando and Prime Minister Isaac Zida.
