Nigeria’s Finance Minister Congratulates President Buhari Over His Re-election

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari over his re-election, describing it as an ‘impressive success’.

She said this in a congratulatory message addressed to Buhari.

The congratulatory message contained in a statement issued by Mr Paul Abechi, her Special Adviser on Media and Communications on Friday in Abuja, said Buhari’s victory shows his acceptability across the length and breadth of the country.

It's high time we move on from congratulatory msgs. @MBuhari needs to understand that we voted on belief of performance and serious work needs to be put in to achieve that. He won't be on the ballot in 2023 so @APCNigeria must ensure he performs in the next 4yrs.

“I am pleased to congratulate you and the entire campaign team on this impressive success.

“Your victory with acceptability across the length and breadth of our country fills me with immense joy.

“By this vote, Nigerians trust and believe in your ability to lead the country to sustainable growth and development.”

Ahmed also said that the victory would inspire him to do more to lead Nigeria on the path of sustainable prosperity.
