Tinubu expresses appreciation to World Leaders, others over congratulatory messages

President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed profound appreciation to world leaders, groups, and individuals for the stream of congratulatory messages since his victory at the February 25th polls.

The Independent Electoral Commission had declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate winner of the presidential election.
He was said to have defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP)’s Peter Obi, and others in the election which have triggered the flow of congratulatory messages from far and wide.

The former Lagos State governor, while appreciating his well wishers, said the stream of congratulatory messages since his declaration has been “overwhelming”.

“I deeply appreciate the congratulatory messages that have come in from friends and well-wishers from home and abroad,” he began in a tweet Sunday.

“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 other parts of the world who welcome my election with heartwarming messages.

“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.”
