(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – President Bola Tinubu has congratulated President Donald Trump on his re-election as the 47th President of the United States of America.

This was contained in a Press Release issued on Wednesday and signed by Special Adviser to the President, Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.

Tinubu said he looks forward to strengthening the ties between Nigeria and the United States amid the complex challenges and opportunities of the contemporary world.

According Tinubu, Trump’s victory reflected the trust and confidence the American people have placed in his leadership.

He congratulated them on their commitment to democracy.
