President Bola Tinubu has extended his congratulations to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on his victory in the country’s parliamentary elections.
Prime Minister Modi’s coalition, the National Democratic Alliance, secured a majority of the parliamentary seats, enabling him to embark on a third consecutive term. This achievement is notable, as it marks only the second time in India’s history that a leader has retained power for a third term, following Jawaharlal Nehru, the nation’s first Prime Minister.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu remarked that the election outcome is a resounding affirmation of Prime Minister Modi’s exceptional leadership in the world’s largest democracy.
“On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, President Tinubu congratulated the people of India and assured the South Asian nation of Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening relations and advancing shared goals and values as strategic partners in the league of nations,” the statement added.
