Buhari stated this on Tuesday in Liberia as he joined other world leaders to attend the 175th independence anniversary of the West African nation.
President called on his West African colleagues to do all within their powers to ensure that elections are conducted in their countries in an atmosphere of trust, freedom and transparency as this is the only way the sub-region can be insulated from the scourge of unconstitutional takeovers that reared its head in three countries recently.
He said democracy and good governance must take its roots in the African continent to sustain peace, stability, and development while leaders must redouble their efforts to guarantee the irreversibility of democracy.
