Zelensky Congratulates Tinubu, Says Ukraine-Nigeria Relations Will Be Strengthened
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has congratulated the President-Elect Bola Tinubu on his victory in last Saturday’s presidential election.
The Ukrainian president took to Twitter to send a congratulatory message after Tinubu was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He tweeted, “Congratulations to @officialABAT on winning the Nigerian presidential election. I look forward to close cooperation,” he said.
“I’m convinced that 🇺🇦-🇳🇬 bilateral interaction will be strengthened. 🇺🇦 is ready to work together to overcome global challenges, including threats to food security!”
Recall that INEC declared Tinubu the winner in the early hours of Wednesday, after he claimed the highest number of votes — 8,794,726, almost two million votes more than his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who got 6,984,520.
