The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said in his statement that Dr. Jonathan also expressed his gratitude to the President for naming Itakpe - Warri railway complex after him. 

According to Adesina President Buhari thanked him for his mission and said he would meet with the other ECOWAS leaders in order to resolve the problem in Mali.

Mali current crisis erupted when the court nullified the results of 31 parliamentary election and  awarded victory to some other candidates which the resistance group claimed it was at the directive President Boubacar Keita. This has led to protesters to call for the resignation of the President.

Dr. Goodluck Jonathan said, “ECOWAS can’t preside over the removal of an elected President. Not even the African Union (AU), or the United Nations (UN) can do it."
