‘I’m Particularly Grateful’ – Tinubu Hails Nigerians, World Leaders Over Congratulatory Messages

Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has expressed gratitude for congratulatory messages from friends and well-wishers both at home and abroad.

Tinubu also thanked Nigerians and the rest of the world for their messages of support, goodwill, and solidarity in a statement posted on his social media pages on Sunday.

He also expressed his deep admiration for the new mandate to serve as the country’s next President for the next four years and lead it to greatness.

The president-elect also thanked African leaders, Commonwealth Heads, and other world leaders who welcomed his election with heartfelt messages.

Tinubu, for his part, extended a friendly hand to those who offered to work with his administration, saying that now is a good time to believe in the Nigerian dream.

He wrote:

The past few days have been a whirlwind for me and for many Nigerians. We have, through our electoral process, consolidated our democracy as a nation, and, by the Grace of Almighty God, I have been given the mandate to lead the nation for the next four years as its President.

I deeply appreciate the congratulatory messages that have come in from friends and well-wishers from home and abroad. The messages of goodwill and solidarity have been so overwhelming for me to mention you all by name.

I am particularly grateful to many world leaders from our African neighbours, our friends in The Commonwealth, and from the other parts of the world who welcomed my election with heartwarming messages.

The support and assurance I have received from the international community is a reminder of the important role Nigeria has in the world and an encouraging sign that the rest of the world remains interested in constructive and beneficial cooperation with the Federal Republic of Nigeria. As President-elect of this great nation, I say thank you.

To those who have extended the arm of friendship, I offer mine in return. This is a good time to believe in the Nigerian dream; a good time to believe in our renewed hope. The Nigerian eagle shall fly high.
