Togo instability may have 'wider implications'


	Opposition protesters have called on President Faure Gnassingbé to stand down

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and his Ivorian counterpart, Alassane Ouattara, say the political instability in Togo could have wider implications across the region.

Opposition protesters have been calling on Toga's President Faure Gnassingbé, who has been in power since 2005, to step down in recent months.

They are demanding the restoration of the 1992 constitution, which limited the number of presidential terms to two.

However, Mr Buhari, who was meeting Mr Ouattara on the sidelines of the 5th AU-EU Summit in the Ivorian capital Abidjan, warned it could have consequences beyond Togo's borders.
