The United States America President, Joe Biden, has expressed his readiness to work with the Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was made known in a statement on Monday, from Biden to Tinubu while sending his congratulatory message to the new Nigeria President.
Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima were on Monday, sworn in as the 16th Nigerian leaders by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Kayode Ariwoola.
Biden, in the statement released, reiterated his administration’s commitment to work with Tinubu “to strengthen ties between the United States and Nigeria.”
He said, “On behalf of the people of the United States, I send warm wishes to the government and people of Nigeria as they inaugurate a new President. I look forward to continuing this work with President Tinubu to support economic growth, advance security, and promote respect for human rights.”
“As Africa’s largest democracy and economy, Nigeria’s success is the world’s success. Elected leaders owe it to their people to show that democracy can deliver for their needs. And the United States will continue to work closely with Nigeria, as a friend and partner, to deliver a more peaceful and prosperous future for our world.”
