Jonathan disgraced at AU 18th Summit in Addis Ababa
Latest Politics Sunday, January 29th, 2012
Boni will be taking over the chairmanship of the African Union (AU) from Equatorial Guinea’s dictator Teodoro Obiang Nguema.
Mr. Jonathan had injected himself into the contest as a last minute attempt to become the chair of AU but his effort was stoutly opposed by Ghana leading several West African nations that claimed Mr. Boni’s nomination was already agreed upon at a mini-summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
It was not clear if Mr. Jonathan withdrew his candidature after ECOWAS member states blocked his bid to become the AU chair. However, Mr. Boni was announced as the new chair of the African Union and takes over as Chairman at the 18th AU Summit in Addis Ababa today.
