President Bola Tinubu has sent a congratulatory message to the President-elect of Senegal, Bassirou Faye
Tinubu’s congratulatory message was conveyed through a statement on Wednesday by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale.
In it, Tinubu noted that President-elect Faye comes with great promise and a sterling record, wishing him success as he takes on the critical job of leading Senegal.
The President also congratulated the outgoing President Macky Sall for overseeing an election widely adjudged as peaceful and transparent.
According to Tinubu, the success of the presidential election in Senegal and the successful conduct of the general election in Liberia a few months earlier affirmed his long-held conviction that the taproot of democracy is deeply established in West Africa and will only grow stronger as it is watered by good governance, justice, and fairness to all.
Tinubu, who is Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS) affirmed that the Senegal election was successful and boosted the sub-regional organisation’s efforts to promote peace and constitutional order and strengthen ties among member states.
He assured the people of Senegal of Nigeria’s best wishes and support.
The 44-year-old Faye defeated Senegal’s ruling coalition candidate, Amadou Ba, at the Sunday presidential election.
