Tinubu congratulates Indian PM on election victory
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday congratulated the Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi, on his victory in that nation’s parliamentary elections.
A statement by presidential aide Ajuri Ngelale said the president described the election outcome as “a resounding affirmation of Modi’s exceptional leadership of the world’s largest democracy.”
The president assured the South Asian nation of Nigeria’s commitment to strengthen relations and advance shared goals and values as strategic partners in the League of Nations.
Mr Modi’s coalition, the National Democratic Alliance, won a majority of the parliamentary seats, paving the way for a third consecutive term.
The victory is considered a rare feat. It marks the second time an Indian leader will retain power for a third term after Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister.
