Tuggar while describing the victory as well-deserved, praised Adeoye’s leadership in strengthening Africa’s security framework and advancing peace initiatives. “His re-election reflects his unwavering commitment to resolving conflicts, promoting democratic governance, and enhancing regional cooperation,” he stated.
Ambassador Bankole’s renewed mandate comes at a crucial time as Africa faces rising security threats, including terrorism and political instability.
His expertise is expected to play a key role in boosting peacekeeping efforts and fostering stability across the continent.
