Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo has congratulated the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory in the recently concluded presidential election.

Akufo-Addo expressed hope that Tinubu’s victory would improve governance, the rule of law, and the performance of the Nigerian economy in a statement released on Thursday.

Akufo-Addo also praised the presidential candidates of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and the Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, for their hard-fought campaigns.

The Ghanaian President stated that he is confident that their reactions to the election results will reinforce the boundaries of Nigerian democracy and consolidate Nigeria’s peace and stability.

He hoped that the President-elect would follow in the footsteps of previous Nigerian leaders, deepening the strong friendship that exists between Nigeria and Ghana.

He said:

On behalf of the Ghanaian people and their Government, I extend warm congratulations to the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory in the Nigerian presidential election of Saturday, 25th February.

President-elect Bola Tinubu’s victory has ensured that the ruling APC Government has been given four (4) more years to continue in office, which, I am hopeful, will go a long way to enhancing the quality of governance, the rule of law and the performance of the Nigerian economy.

The presidential candidates of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and the Labour Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively, are to be commended for their vigorous, well-fought campaigns.

I am confident that their reactions to the results of the election will reinforce the boundaries of Nigerian democracy, and consolidate the peace and stability of Nigeria, Africa’s giant.

It is my expectation that the President-elect would continue in the stead of past Nigerian leaders, and deepen even further the strong friendship that exists between Nigeria & Ghana, which has been based on a shared agenda of freedom, development, security, progress, and prosperity.

Warm congratulations, once again, to President-elect Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu, and to the people of Nigeria. Best wishes for his and Nigeria’s success.
