President Goodluck Jonathan joined other
world leaders in congratulating re-elected
British Prime Minister, David Cameron and
the Conservative Party of Great Britain.
His congratulatory message was contained
in a statement made available to journalists
in Abuja by the President’s Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.
Jonathan assured Cameron and the
Conservative Party of the best wishes of the
government and people of Nigeria as they
prepare to form a new British Government
backed by the clear majority in parliament
which they won in Thursday’s elections.
The statement read in part, “The President
expects that the historic relationship
between Nigeria and Britain which received
a significant boost during the past five years
of his Presidency in Nigeria and Mr.
Cameron’s first term in office, will continue
to blossom in coming years for the benefit
of both countries and their citizens.
“President Jonathan particularly hopes that
both countries will continue to strengthen
current bilateral cooperation between them
in critical areas such as the fight against
insurgency and terrorism, education, trade,
infrastructure and the achievement of
Nigeria’s development targets.
“The President wishes Prime Minister
Cameron a very successful new term in
office and trusts that he will continue to
serve the people of Britain and the global
community to the best of his immense
God-given abilities.”
