President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Gambian leaders to do everything they can to douse the tension to stem the citizens of the country from fleeing as a result of political uncertainty.

Buhari, in a statement by his senior special assistant on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu today, Tuesday, said that ECOWAS is committed to the resolution to the political crisis in that country through inclusive dialogue with respect to the constitution and the will of the people of Gambia.

The Nigerian leader, who is leading a mediation mission, along with the immediate past President of Ghana, Mr. John Mahama, said that the mediation team would move into Gambia on Friday, instead of tomorrow, Wednesday, at the instance of the embattled President Yahya Jammeh.

He said that the High Level ECOWAS mediation mission had accepted the postponement of the visit even as said despite the delay, the mandate of the ECOWAS will be accomplished. [myad]
