President Bola Tinubu has asserted that the African continent will surmount any challenge through governance by popular consent, adding that through this, democracy will thrive.
President Tinubu was reacting to the just concluded presidential election in the Democratic Republic of Congo, congratulating President Felix Tshisekedi on his re-election.
According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President commended the government and the people of DR Congo for ensuring a successful conduct of the elections.
He also congratulated the people of DR Congo for deepening democratic norms by exercising their rights without resorting to acts inimical to the sustenance of democracy.
“It is welcoming that the last elections in DR Congo were well-concluded. Democracy is sustainable on the continent. I congratulate President Tshisekedi on his victory. The President has demonstrated statesmanship in his handling of regional and continental matters. Africa will overcome any challenge with governance by popular consent, and democracy will thrive,” President Tinubu said.
He, however, wished President Tshisekedi a successful term in office.
