Senegal Election: Peter Obi congratulates Diomaye Faye on victory

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi has congratulated Bassirou Diomaye Faye on his victory at the just concluded presidential election in Senegal.

Senegal opposition Presidential candidate, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a political newcomer popular among disaffected youths,  is set to be declared the next president after his main rival called him to concede defeat.

Faye has thanked President Macky Sall and other candidates for respecting Senegal’s democratic tradition by recognising his victory well before official results.

Obi on his X handle on Monday said “I like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Bassirou Diomaye Faye for his victory in the Senegalese Presidential election

“This triumph stands significantly as a testament to the beauty of democracy and the unwavering power of the people.

” I commend the Senegalese people for their active participation in the polls and their dedication to shaping the future of their nation.
A refreshing aspect of the Senegalese outcome is the relative youth of the President elect. If this trend towards youthful leadership takes hold, we may be heading towards the era of a new youthful leadership in Africa.

“The successful outcome of the election in Senegal serves as an inspiration to us all in the sub-region and indeed all of Africa, in reaffirming that the democratic process is anchored and rooted in the will of the people.

“I eagerly anticipate witnessing the progress and prosperity that this new leadership will bring to Senegal and the wider African continent.

“This victory is inspirational and it is a huge boost to Nigerians who are resolute and tirelessly working to ensure that the democratic aspirations of the Nigerian people are realized without hindrance in the years ahead.

“Once again, congratulations to Bassirou Diomaye Faye and the people of Senegal”.
