The extra-ordinary summit of ECOWAS to deliberate on the situation in Guinea, scheduled for Friday 9 Jan in the Nigeria's capital, Abuja, has been pushed forward by one day. ''The leaders consulted among themselves and agreed to hold the summit on Saturday,'' an ECOWAS source told PANA here Friday. But the source said Foreign Ministers of the 15-member bloc would meet Friday to prepare the report to be considered by the leaders. Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister Ojo Maduekwe had told journalists here Monday that the summit might suspend Guinea's membership to protest the power seizure by a military junta, shortly after the death of long-servicing President Lansana Conte in December. Maduekwue spoke after a meeting with Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua, who holds the rotational chairmanship of the bloc. Nigeria's stand is that the coup negates the African Union's (AU) Constitutive Act against military take-over of government on the continent. Nigeria has rejected the the timetable for elections as proposed by the Guinean junta, saying it is absolutely unacceptable. ''We are looking at a time frame that is just enough to conduct elections and get out. If it requires two weeks, let them conduct the elections and get out,'' the Foreign Minister said.
