The Nigerian opposition party congratulated Trump and urged him to strengthen relationship between America and Nigeria and Africa at large.

The statement read: “We congratulate Mr. Donald J. Trump on his emergence as President-Elect of the United States of America after his historic victory at the US Presidential Elections. Mr. Trump’s victory came against many odds and shows the strength of democracy in the US.
“We commend Secretary Hillary Clinton on her hard-fought campaigns. She showed herself as a role model for young men, women and children all over the world.
“The campaigns that preceded these elections has been hard fought and sometimes fractious in a manner that has taken its toll on the American people. We urge President-Elect Trump to move quickly and heal the divides and to reassure all Americans, particularly its minorities, that his administration will pursue policies and programmes that protects and promotes all their constitutional rights and freedoms. “We also urge President-Elect Trump to quickly formulate policies that will ensure a mutually beneficial relationship between the US and Africa in general, and Nigeria in particular. At this time, the US and Nigeria must work harder to deepen mutual security and economic interests.”

Also, in a statement to NAIJ.com, Governor Ayodele Fayose has hailed the victory of the Republican Donald Trump in the United States presidential election, describing it as “the beginning of a real change in Nigeria.
“Now that Trump has won, it portends hope for Nigerians that the excesses of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government will stop as the road has ended for those who conspired to impose Buhari on Nigerians,” he said.


Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he is ready to work with the new American president Donald Trump. Speaking in his reaction to Trump’s victory, President Buhari also heartily congratulated the new president-elect of the United States of America.
