Why was their no serious attempt to bring French West Africa under free French control after the Battle of Dakar?

I am mainly wondering why they didn’t for instance try to take control of Togoland or Benin, those seem like they would’ve been fairly easy to take control of all the troops they could had from equatorial, especially if the British provided them with Some Colonial troops from the gold coast as support (though for cosmetic purposes they may have wanted to incorporate them into the Foreign legion, I suppose)?
