The Bangladesh High Commissioner to Nigeria, Masudur Rahman, has described the February 25 presidential election which produced President-elect Bola Tinubu as a huge moment for the country’s democracy.

Mr Rahman made the assertion on Thursday in Abuja during an interview with NAN.

“The election was a huge moment for Nigeria, a country which is one of the largest democracies in the world,” said the envoy.

“Nigeria is also the largest in Africa in terms of democratic norms and practices and also the largest economy of Africa.”

He added, “So, we are very positive about the development that has taken shape through the election, concretising the hopes and aspirations of the Nigerian people.”

Mr Rahman urged Mr Tinubu to strengthen extant bilateral relations between both countries when the new government comes on board.

“I congratulate Tinubu and we are very positive about the future growth and potentials with the arrival of the new government,” Mr Rahman said.

He said Bangladesh would continue to explore areas of mutual interest between both countries.
