Nigeria has congratulated Duma Boko, Botswana’s president-elect, on his historic election win.

In a letter released on Friday, Ambassador Eche Abu-Obe, the spokesperson for Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, revealed.

This occurs as Mokgweetsi Masisi, the president of the Botswana Democratic group, who has dominated the nation for more than thirty years, is overthrown by Boko’s opposition group, the Umbrella for Democratic Change, or UDC.

Nigeria says it shares the hopes and aspirations of the people of Botswana in response to Boko’s victory.

“The Federal Republic of Nigeria wishes to congratulate the President-elect of the Republic of Botswana, Lawyer Duma Boko, following the victory of his party, the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDP), at the just concluded general elections in Gaborone.

“Nigeria wishes to also commend the fortitude of the outgoing President,

His Excellency Mokgweetsi Masisi, in accepting the outcome and laying out the nation’s future.

“As Botswana remains an important ally and partner, Nigeria shares the hopes and aspirations of the brotherly government and people of Botswana, as they delve into the next chapter of their nationhood.”

Masisi, the outgoing president, had earlier acknowledged that Boko had won the presidential election.
