President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday congratulated President Ibrahim Keita of Mali on winning the country’s election for a second term in office. In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President also felicitated with majority of Malians for giving the incumbent another opportunity to serve them after the August 12, 2018 presidential run-off.

 The statement read, “The ECOWAS Chairman, President Muhammadu Buhari, urges the main challenger, Soumaila Cisse, and his supporters to abide by the verdict of the people as confirmed by the ruling of the Constitutional Court, and join hands with President Keita in the interest of the country in particular and peace and stability of West Africa.

 “The Nigerian leader firmly believes that the successful outcome of the election in Mali further strengthens Africa’s democratic credentials as the people are allowed to choose their leaders without let or hindrance.

 “President Buhari wishes President Keita a successful second tenure in a peaceful and stable atmosphere.”

 Similarly, the Nigerian President congratulated President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe, following his declaration by the country’s Constitutional Court as the lawful winner of the July presidential poll. Buhari called on all Zimbabweans especially the politicians to unite and work for the progress and development of their country.

 Meanwhile, Buhari on Friday congratulated the matriarch of the Elumelu family, Mrs. Suzanne Elumelu, on her 90th birthday. In a statement, the President said he joined the mother of five, including the Chairman of Heirs Foundation, Tony Elumelu, in celebrating the milestone, which he described as an evidence of God’s favour and grace.

 The statement read, “The President commends Mrs. Elumelu, who is fondly called Mama, for her strength of character and entrepreneurial spirit in raising a strong and healthy family, and her advocacy for good education and investment skills for children and women particularly in the country.”
