President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the newly elected president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, deserves his victory in the election.
This was disclosed by a statement issued by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President
(Media & Publicity), on Monday.
The statement said that the president affirmed that the election of Raisi “once again reinforces the centrality of the will of the people to the success of democracy anywhere in the world.”
Buhari explained that “democracy affords voters the opportunity to change or re-elect their representatives by peaceful means.”
He described Raisi as “a consummate politician with experience to lead his country to greater heights and a better future.”
President Buhari urged Iranians “to brush political differences aside and support Raisi to succeed in efforts to help the country overcome its challenges, including the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and the crippling sanctions imposed on the country.”
While congratulating Raisi on his victory, President Buhari advised the President-elect “to unite the country for the sake of protecting the common interests of Iranians that transcend party lines.”
He prayed to God to guide and grant him wisdom in the discharge of “the heavy responsibility your election entails.”
