President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the government and people of Liberia following the successful conduct of the Liberian presidential election.

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the government and people of Liberia on the successful conduct of the presidential election. 

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu also congratulated President-elect Joseph Boakai, who won the mandate of the people.

Tinubu, however, enjoined the Liberian President-elect to unite the country and build on the popular support expressed through the ballot box to deliver good governance to the people of Liberia.

Encouraging Boakai to unite the country and leverage the support expressed through the ballot box for delivering good governance, Tinubu also praised outgoing President George Weah for his exceptional leadership in conceding the election, which prevented any socio-political crisis.

He said President 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
