Buhari Congratulates Liberian President-elect
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday congratulated Mr. George Oppong Weah on his election as the next President of the Republic of Liberia.
Buhari, according to a statement by his spokesman Mr. Femi Adesina, also commended the Liberian people on the peaceful conduct of the historic presidential run-off election, stressing that “this is another plus on Africa’s democratic scoreboard.”
Buhari equally applauded the efforts of the National Election Commission of Liberia as well as regional and international observers who had contributed immensely to the electoral process and the strengthening of post-conflict democracy in the West African country.
The president described Weah’s victory as an affirmation of the will of the Liberian people to remain united, peaceful and prosperous.
He pledged Nigeria’s readiness to work with Liberia on issues of mutual interest at bilateral, regional and global levels for the benefit of citizens of both countries.
Buhari also d outgoing President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, under whose 12-year watch Liberia had transformed from being a pariah state to a country doing remarkably well on many fronts such as, women and civil rights issue, peace building and consolidation, ECOWAS and the Mano River Union.
He noted that Sirleaf deserved special commendation for the statesmanship she had shown in ensuring free and fair elections that would pave the way for a peaceful transfer of political power from one democratically elected leader to another for the first time in 73 years.
Buhari wished Weah and Liberians a peaceful transition, reassuring them of Nigeria’s determination to sustain the current cordial relationship with Liberia.
