According to Mr Biden, as Africa’s largest democracy and economy, Nigeria’s success is the world’s success.
Elected leaders, he said, owe it to their people to show that democracy can deliver for their needs and the United States will continue to work closely with Nigeria, as a friend and partner, to deliver a more peaceful and prosperous future for our world. Mr Biden had announced a 9-person Presidential Delegation to represent him and America at Mr Tinubu’s inauguration. The delegation was led by Marcia Fudge, US Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Mr Tinubu on Monday in a ceremony in Abuja took his oath of office as Nigeria’s 16th president since 1960.
