In his commendation, Tinubu congratulated President-elect Joseph Boakai, acknowledging his mandate from the people.
He urged Boakai to unite the country and leverage the widespread support expressed through the ballot box to deliver effective governance to the people of Liberia.
A statement, titled ‘President Tinubu congratulates Liberians and commends President Weah’s leadership following the presidential election,’ signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, conveyed Tinubu’s felicitations to the people of Liberia for the successful conduct of the election.
Tinubu highlighted Weah’s act of democratic sportsmanship as exemplary, especially in West Africa’s current climate, where democracy faces challenges from actors seeking to undermine the people’s will.
The statement read, “I commend President George Weah for his sterling example, undiluted patriotism, and statesmanship.
“He has defied the stereotype that peaceful transitions of power are untenable in West Africa.
“He has demonstrated that the outcome of elections in the sub-region need not become the propellant of violence and unrest and that the will of the people must always be respected,” the President stated
President Tinubu expressed gratitude to the people of Liberia for peacefully exercising their rights and urged them to remain steadfast in advancing peace and democracy.
Earlier on Saturday, local media reported the defeat of President Weah in the second round of voting during the country’s presidential election held on Tuesday. With 99.58 percent of votes counted from the country’s 5,890 polling places, it became apparent that former Vice President Joseph Boakai, the Unity Party candidate, had taken the lead.
Mr. Boakai has garnered 814,212 votes out of the total 1,625,684 votes, surpassing Weah’s 785,778 votes under the governing party, Coalition for Democracy Change.
