President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Mr Jair Bolsonaro on his victory in Brazil’s presidential election run-off on Sunday.
The President also felicitated with the people of Brazil for successfully going through the two rounds of the election and making their choice, thereby enhancing the democratic credentials of their country.
Stressing that Nigeria shares historical and cultural ties with Brazil, the President said the present administration looks forward to deepening such relations and expanding current political, trade and military ties with the South American powerhouse.
As Pesident-elect Bolsonaro takes oath of office in January 2019, the Nigerian leader wished him a successful tenure in confronting his country’s current socio-economic challenges.
