President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday congratulated Donald Trump on his re-election as the 47th President of the United States of America.
Tinubu expressed his readiness to strengthen the ties between Nigeria and the US amid the complex challenges and opportunities of the contemporary world.
His message was conveyed in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday.
The president said, “Together, we can foster economic cooperation, promote peace, and address global challenges that affect our citizens.”
According to him, Trump’s triumph indicates the American people’s trust and confidence in his leadership.
As a result, he praised the US electorate for their dedication 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,” Onanuga noted.
The President also acknowledged the United States’ influence, power, and position in determining the trend and course of global events, trusting that Trump will bring the world closer to peace and prosperity.
