Ghana's President-elect, Akufo-Addo, congratulates Nigeria's President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has congratulated newly-elected Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his election victory.
Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, won the hotly contested elections held on February 25, 2023.
"On behalf of the Ghanaian people and their government, I extend warm congratulations to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory in the Nigerian presidential election on Saturday, February 25th," President Akufo-Addo said on social media.
He expressed hope that the Nigerian President-elect would strengthen the country's strong friendship with Ghana.
"I expect the President-elect to continue in the footsteps of previous Nigerian leaders, and to deepen even further the strong friendship that exists between Nigeria and Ghana, which is based on a shared agenda of freedom, development, security, progress, and prosperity," he said.
Tinubu defeated other candidates, including the Peoples Democratic Party's Atiku Abubakar, the Labour Party's Peter Obi, and the New Nigeria Peoples Party's Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The three leading presidential candidates each won 12 states, while Kwankwaso won only Kano.
Tinubu defeated Atiku, a former vice president and his closest rival, with 1.8 million votes.

On behalf of the Ghanaian people and government, I congratulate the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his victory in the Nigerian presidential election on Saturday, February 25th.
President-elect Bola Tinubu's victory ensured that the ruling APC Government was given four (4) more years in office, which I am hopeful will go a long way toward improving governance, the rule of law, and the performance of the Nigerian economy.
The presidential candidates of the Peoples' Democratic Party and the Labour Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively, are to be commended for their vigorous, well-fought campaigns, and I am confident that their reactions to the election results will reinforce the boundaries of Nigerian democracy and consolidate Nigeria's peace and stability, Africa's giant.
It is my expectation that the President-elect will follow in the footsteps of previous Nigerian leaders and deepen the strong friendship that exists between Nigeria and Ghana, which is based on a shared agenda of freedom, development, security, progress, and prosperity.
Congratulations to President-elect Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu and the people of Nigeria once more. Best wishes for his success and the success of Nigeria.
