President Muhammadu Buhari has pushed forward his visit to Banjul, the capital of Gambia, to Friday.
This follows an advice by President Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia to Buhari, who heads the High Level ECOWAS mediation mission to the country.
Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on media, made the confirmation in a statement.
He said in accepting to postpone the visit earlier planned to take place on Wednesday, Buhari, who is mediating alongside John Mahama, the immediate past president of Ghana said that the delay will not affect ECOWAS mandate.
Recall that President Buhari on Monday assured that ECOWAS leaders will do everything they can to douse the tension in The Gambia, which has led citizens to leave the country due to political uncertainty.
The Nigerian leader said ECOWAS is committed to the resolution of the crisis through inclusive dialogue with respect to the constitution and the will of the people of Gambia.
