President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended his congratulations to Donald Trump on his re-election as the 47th President of the United States.
In a statement released by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, President Tinubu expressed optimism about strengthening Nigeria-U.S. relations.
He emphasized his commitment to deepening bilateral ties, noting that the partnership between the two nations is vital in addressing the complex challenges and seizing the opportunities presented in today’s world.
President Tinubu also said, “Together, we can foster economic cooperation, promote peace, and address global challenges that affect our citizens.”
According to President Tinubu, Trump’s victory reflected the trust and confidence the American people placed in his leadership.
He also congratulated the American people on their commitment to democracy.
President Tinubu believes that, given President Trump’s experience as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, his return to the White House as the 47th president will usher in an era of earnest, beneficial, and reciprocal economic and development partnerships between Africa and the United States.
Acknowledging the United States’ influence, power, and position in determining the trend and course of global events, the Nigerian leader said President Trump would bring the world closer to peace and prosperity.
