President Bola Tinubu has extended his congratulations to Mr. Bassirou Diomaye Faye on his election as the President of the Republic of Senegal.
President Tinubu noted that President-elect Faye came with great promise and a sterling record, wishing him success as he took on the job of leading the people of Senegal.
The president also congratulated President Macky Sall, for overseeing an election that had been widely adjudged as peaceful and transparent.
Tinubu stated that the success of the presidential election in Senegal and the successful conduct of the general election in Liberia a few months ago had affirmed his long-held conviction that the taproot of democracy was deeply established in West Africa and would only grow stronger as it was watered by good governance, justice, and fairness to all.
As the chairman of ECOWAS, the president affirmed that the successful conduct of the Senegal election was a boost to the sub-regional organization in its efforts to promote peace and constitutional order, as well as strengthen ties among member states.
President Tinubu congratulated the people of Senegal and assured them of Nigeria’s best wishes and support.
