Obasanjo meets AU Chairperson Youssouf over regional developments

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo met with African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Youssouf on Friday to discuss regional developments and issues affecting Africa.

The meeting focused on peace, dialogue and stability across the continent.

The African Union said Youssouf praised Obasanjo for his continued involvement in continental affairs and his efforts to promote peace and stability.

The statement said, “The Chairperson commended President Obasanjo’s continued engagement in support of peace, dialogue and stability across the continent.”

Obasanjo, who is an AU High Representative, was first appointed to the role in August 2021 and later reappointed to continue his peace and mediation efforts.

The two leaders also “exchanged views on key regional developments and other issues of continental interest.”
