President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Mahamat Déby on his presidential election victory.
Déby, Chad’s transitional president, was declared winner of
the country’s presidential poll last week.
The Chadian National Election Management Agency said on
Thursday that Déby won the May 6 election with over 61 percent of the votes
cast, to beat Succès Masra, the incumbent prime minister and main opponent, who
was said to have secured 18.5 percent.
In a statement issued on Sunday by Ajuri Ngelale, special
adviser to the president, Tinubu said the successful conduct of elections in
Chad underlines the commitment of the government and the people of Chad to
democracy and orderly transitions in the region.
“The President
assures President-elect Déby that Nigeria will continue to work closely with
the Republic of Chad, as both countries seek to enhance peace, security, and
shared prosperity for the mutual benefit of their peoples,” the statement
reads.
“The President also calls for sustained, friendly
cooperation between both nations, while wishing the President-Elect success as
he undertakes this noble service to the people of Chad.”
