United Kingdom Prime Minister, Mr Rishi Sunak has joined others to congratulate Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his victory at last weekend poll.
Sunak on his official Twitter handle on Wednesday noted that the UK government is looking forward to work with Tinubu-led Nigerian government in the areas of trade and security.
“Congratulations to @officialABAT on his victory in Nigeria.
“The UK-Nigeria relationship remains strong. I look forward to working together to grow our security and trade ties, opening up opportunities for businesses and creating prosperity in both our countries” Sunak tweeted.
Nigerians React:
The fact that the Government of the United Kingdom has congratulated Tinubu as the Nigerian President- Elect is an indication that the Commonwealth Observer report submitted must have given the elections a pass. Few incidents, but not enough to affect the integrity of the elections or results. The other G20 Countries will soon send congratulatory messages. Tinubu’s acceptance as President- Elect by the International Community is commendable.
