The Foundation for Security and Development in Africa (FOSDA), on Wednesday commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s intervention in the Togo political crisis.

According to the Foundation, the President backed by ECOWAS had taken a critical step that would contribute significantly to finding the needed peace in the former French colony.

Mrs Theodora Williams Anti, the Programmes Manager of FOSDA, speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said President Akufo-Addo had shown the needed leadership by his actions to resolve the impasse so far, given the importance of peace in Togo to Ghana and West Africa as whole.

She therefore, urged the President to remain objective and promote compliance to the ECOWAS Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance and other relevant ECOWAS protocols.

She said: "This intervention has come at the opportune time and we urge the government, the various political parties in Togo, CSOs and other stakeholders to heed to President Akufo-Addo's call for compromises and accommodation where necessary."
