Tinubu writes King Charles, says he looks forward to further engagements with Britain
President-elect Bola Tinubu has congratulated Prince Charles on his coronation as the King of England, saying he looks forward to further engagements with the British government.
He said this in his congratulatory letter as the president-elect to the crowned King on Saturday in Abuja.
“I look forward to further engagements with you and the opportunity of a meeting in the near future, as both of us had earlier indicated in discussions with mutual friends and associates,” said Mr Tinubu.
He noted that the splendour of British monarchy and its rich tradition came to the fore again and the world literally came to a standstill as Mr Charles was crowned the new British King, with the appellation of King Charles III.
The president-elect said It was heartwarming that Mr Charles’ accession to the throne came after the 70-year reign of his iconic mother: Queen Elizabeth II, whose death in September 2022 left the entire world in grief, given her eventful reign.
“Particularly remarkable about you is your love for the environment, and importantly your lifelong crusade for sustainability and biodiversity,” Mr Tinubu said.
He expressed hope that during his reign, the excellent bilateral relationship between Nigeria and Britain would continue and even become stronger in the interests of the two countries.
“Once again, I rejoice with you on your coronation and pray that God Almighty grant you strength and wisdom.
“And make your reign successful for the benefit of not only the people of Great Britain but for the entire world.
“Please rest assured of my highest regards always,” the Nigerian president-elect said.
