President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt congratulations to President Donald Trump on his re-election as the 47th President of the United States of America.
Trump, the Republican Party candidate, has an unassailable lead of 266 electoral college votes, requiring four more from the remaining 44 votes, while Democratic Party’s candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris has 219 votes.
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Mr. Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday, the President Tinubu looks forward to strengthening the ties between Nigeria and the United States amid the complex challenges and opportunities of the contemporary world.
President Tinubu said: “Together, we can foster economic cooperation, promote peace, and address global challenges that affect our citizens”.
According to President Tinubu, Trump’s victory reflects the trust and confidence the American people have placed in his leadership. He congratulated them 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 trusts that President Trump will bring the world closer to peace and prosperity.
