PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has congratulated Liberian presidential candidate Joseph Boakai on his victory today, urging him to unite the country and provide excellent administration to the people of Liberia.
According to Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, he also congratulated the government and people of Liberia on the successful conduct of the Liberian Presidential Election.
The President also lauded his Liberian counterpart, President George Weah, for exhibiting exceptional leadership by conceding the election and averting a sociopolitical crisis.
He added that Weah’s “great act of democratic sportsmanship is exemplary, particularly at this time in West Africa, when democracy is under attack by malign actors who are bent on subverting the will of the people”.
“I commend President George Weah for his sterling example, undiluted patriotism, and statesmanship. He has defied the stereotype that peaceful transitions of power are untenable in West Africa. He has demonstrated that the outcome of elections in the sub-region need not become the propellant of violence and unrest and that the will of the people must always be respected,” the President states.
