Former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar has described the election of Cyril Ramaphosa as South African
president as relevant to democracy in Africa.
He compared the transition of
power from Jacob Zuma to Ramaphosa earlier on Thursday to the 2015 elections
conducted in Nigeria.
Cyril Ramaphosa was on Thursday
declared president by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, who presided over the
election after he was elected unopposed in the National Assembly on Thursday
afternoon.
The election came a day after
Jacob Zuma resigned after pressure from the ruling party, ANC.
The former Vice President in
reaction on his official twitter page wrote “Smooth transitions such as we have
had in Nigeria in 2015, in Liberia only recently and today in South Africa with
the swearing in of@CyrilRamaphosa as President is germane to deepening
democracy in the continent
