At the African Union summit in Accra, Ghana in early July 2007, where leaders discussed whether a United States of Africa should be created immediately or gradually, Gadio expressed Senegal's stance in favor of immediate creation, saying that " We are ready to abandon partially or totally our sovereignty to join a unity government in Africa.

" He mentioned the possibility that Senegal could join a smaller union of willing states if the rest of Africa was not ready.
