President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday congratulated Mr. Roch Kabore of
the Movement of People for Progress Party on his election as the second
civilian President of Burkina Faso.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi
Adesina, the President expressed the belief that the successful
conclusion of the electoral process would usher in a new era of true
democracy and inclusive good governance in Burkina Faso.
Buhari appreciated the commitment of the people of Burkina Faso in
ensuring a peaceful election and called on them to continue to give the
new leader the maximum support he needs to take Burkina Faso to the
country of their dreams.
The statement read in part, “Buhari also praises the outgoing transition
President, Mr. Michel Kafando for his tenacity and determination in
ensuring that the electoral process was concluded amicably in the face of
daunting challenges.
“He calls on Mr. Kabore to use his famed democratic credentials and vast
parliamentary experience to join hands with other contestants to work
together for the peace, progress, prosperity and unity of Burkina Faso.
“President Muhammadu Buhari also uses the opportunity to call on fellow
African leaders to continue to sustain the democratic principles sweeping
across the continent, and particularly commends the courage and
perseverance of ECOWAS leaders for their support in ensuring that the
transition and election processes were fully concluded and believes that
the success of the Burkina Faso election will deepen the democratic
processes in Africa and emphasize regional and continental integration.
“President Buhari once again wishes Mr. Roch Marc Kabore a successful
tenure particularly in his service to the people of Burkina Faso and to
the global community in general.”
