Tinubu urges President-elect Boakai to unite Liberia, commends Weah for conceding defeat

 President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the government and
people of Liberia following the successful conduct of the Liberian presidential
election.

 

The President, who spoke through his media aide, Ajuri
Ngelale, on Saturday morning, congratulated the President-elect Joseph Boakai.

 

He enjoined Boakai to unite the country and build on the
popular support expressed through the ballot box to deliver good governance to
the people of Liberia.

 

He also lauded the outgoing President, George Weah, for
demonstrating uncommon leadership by conceding the election and averting any
form of socio-political crisis.

 

He said Weah’s great act of democratic sportsmanship is
exemplary, particularly at this time in West Africa, when democracy is under
attack by malign actors who are bent on subverting the will of the people.

 

“I commend President George Weah for his sterling example,
undiluted patriotism, and statesmanship. He has defied the stereotype that
peaceful transitions of power are untenable in West Africa. He has demonstrated
that the outcome of elections in the sub-region need not become the propellant
of violence and unrest and that the will of the people must always be
respected,” Tinubu said.

 

He equally thanked the people of Liberia for peacefully
exercising their rights and implored them to remain steadfast in the
furtherance of peace and democracy.
