“As a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and global statesman, President Carter devoted his post-presidential life to peace, democracy, and disease eradication. His commitment has left a lasting mark,” the statement reads.

“President Carter demonstrated how to stay relevant after office. He tackled global challenges, exemplifying grace and respect for humanity.

“Tinubu fondly recalls Carter as a trustworthy friend to Nigeria.”

The Nigerian president praised Carter’s achievements in combating Guinea worm disease and river blindness, improving many lives.

“President Tinubu remembers Carter’s historic 1978 visit to Nigeria, a pivotal moment in US foreign policy,” he said.

This visit laid the groundwork for US-Africa relations, with Nigeria at the forefront.

Tinubu added that Carter’s legacy will inspire global leaders to embody decency, character, and humanity.
