*FSB News insights 🚨* *Source Africa ➖ Nigeria 🇳🇬* On Thursday, 20th February 2025, Former President Nana Addo Dankwa of the Republic of Ghana had, an invitation from the Board of Trustees of the IBB Presidential Library Foundation, the honour of participating and delivering the keynote address at the historic launch of “A Journey In Service”, the long-awaited autobiography of one of the most extraordinary military statesmen, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, in Abuja, Nigeria. The glittering assembly of Nigeria’s Who’s Who at the event was the perfect occasion to convey my deepest sense of disappointment that military coup d’etats have come back in fashion in our region and are seen as the answer to the instability being spread from the Sahel by jihadist activity, and by some as the answer to difficult economic conditions, or unpopular government policies. It appears that we have our work cut out for us all over again to try to build and consolidate the democratic structures in our countries to gain the confidence of our populations, especially to show that the road to prosperity would be faster and longer lasting when we are democratic. Former President Nana Addo Dankwa called on West African and African countries to remain resolute after years of hesitation, argument or experimentation on the consensus that multi-party democracy is the most suitable form of governance structure for our continent. *From source briefed 🛑 (FSB)*
