President Tinubu congratulates Bassirou Faye on becoming next President of Senegal

Bassirou Faye has received warm congratulations from President Bola Tinubu on his expected election as the next president of Senegal.

As a result of President-elect Faye’s victory in the keenly contested Senegalese election, the opposition and the general public have expressed their support.

President Tinubu praised Faye’s leadership abilities and stellar record in a statement released on Wednesday by presidential spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale. He also expressed confidence in Faye’s ability to lead Senegal toward greater prosperity and advancement.

Preliminary tallies show that Faye has won handily, although the official results are still pending. This validates Senegalese citizens’ desires for reform and revitalization in their country’s leadership.

Additionally, Tinubu praised Macky Sall, the departing leader of Senegal, for presiding over a peaceful and transparent election.

Together with the most recent elections in Liberia, the smoothly run Senegalese presidential election highlights the tenacity of democracy in West Africa and speaks well of the continent’s dedication to democratic values.

The head of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), President Tinubu emphasized the importance of Senegal’s election for promoting stability in the region and strengthening bonds between its members. He reiterated Nigeria’s steadfast backing for Senegal and its citizens.
