Former President Goodluck Jonathan has called for the immediate release of the Guinea-Bissau presidential election results.
He warned that withholding them undermines democracy in West Africa.
Jonathan made the call in Abuja during an interview with journalists, noting that announcing the result would demonstrate integrity.
He insisted that the African Union (AU) and ECOWAS have access to the authentic results and must publish them.
“My conviction is that ECOWAS and the AU must announce the result. They have the results.
“They were present in all the regions. They cannot change anything. They should tally the figures and announce the winner.
“They cannot force the military out, but they must let the world know who won that election. They owe the world that responsibility,” he said.
