When we open our eyes we can see what is going on in most cases. We know what the end will be and we fold our hands until the inevitable happens, then we start shedding crocodile tears.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that elected leaders should not manipulate the system to go beyond their constitutional term limits to avoid plunging their nations into avoidable crises.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation and convener of the forum, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in his opening speech expressed concern over the recurring military intervention in West Africa, adding that the forum is poised to actively engage key stakeholders to stem the tide of regression of democracy in the sub-region.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThe sustainability of democracy in West Africa is key to resolving many of our challenges. I, therefore, appeal to all our leaders across our nations to make democracy work for the interest of all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why we need to continually advocate for the strengthening of our democratic institutions. Strong institutions are the pillars for the sustenance of our democracy and the development of our nations.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan also clarified that the forum was set up to complement the efforts of Governments and international organizations in the bid to promote peace and good governance in the sub-region.<\/p>\n<p>He said further: \u201cAs stakeholders, we must therefore help in this regard and fashion out the best approach towards the strengthening of our political systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me re-emphasize the point that is often made that for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/04\/27\/2023-buhari-will-not-spend-one-hour-beyond-his-tenure-tinubu\/\">democracy<\/a> to endure, it must yield basic public goods to its citizens. These include economic development, good social services, freedom, justice, peace and security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis underscores the place of good governance in our discourse of democracy. Democracy loses its meaning if it does not guarantee the economic status and social security of the citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we must interrogate some fundamental issues such as recurring military intervention, democracy and good governance, peace and security, economic development as well as human trafficking in our sub-region.<\/p>\n<p>Former President of Sierra Leone Ernest Bai Koroma in his remarks noted that the region was \u201cexperiencing a reversal in gains made over the decades, stressing that the forum should come up with proposals that would address our situation. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, former Prime Minister of Senegal, Aminata Toure in her address stressed the need to focus on the prevention of election-related violence and charged the forum to set up a task force that would follow up on elections to prevent electoral violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the time we have a standoff between the government and the opposition and the civil society is not really equipped enough to handle these issues. Let\u2019s build a network of conflict prevention. We need a network of people that can alert and signal on potential issues and talk about our problems before our problems deteriorate.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Former Prime Minister Burkina Faso Kadr\u00e9 D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Ou\u00e9draogo called on ECOWAS to be more visible in the management of political crises, stating that such a disposition would improve the credibility of ECOWAS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has cautioned African leaders not to rig the system in order to exceed their constitutional term limitations, as this would only lead to needless problems.
