Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday stated that Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has been extremely receptive to a delegation of West African leaders who arrived the country of recent.
Asked if Jammeh had been receptive, he told reporters shortly after a meeting: "Yes, very much so."
President Jammeh had rejected the last presidential election in the country a few days after conceding defeat. The West African delegation is expected to urge the long-ruling leader to step aside following a poll defeat.
Earlier on Tuesday, Gambia's security forces entered the building of the Independent Electoral Commission, instructed its chairman to leave and have since barred other employees from entering, the chairman, Alieu Momarr Njai, said.
