the bloc to devise solutions to the challenges bedevilling the region.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bedzrah who is also the lawmaker for Ho West in Ghana\u2019s parliament noted that while the bloc seeks solutions, it must remain committed to the principles of democratic governance and safeguarding the right of our people to freely elect their leaders.<\/p>\n<p>In his considered view, the problems bedevilling the region are as a result of bad leadership, a situation he believed is\u00a0 destroying\u00a0 the collective development of the region.<\/p>\n<p>The Ghanaian\u00a0 lawmaker underscored the need for\u00a0 leaders of the region to\u00a0 take firm decisions to ensure that ECOWAS Member States abide by\u00a0 the laws that brought them to power.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
