President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, expressed delight at the successful presidential election in Senegal, as well as the general elections in Liberia, saying both processes boosted the campaign for democracy by the Economic Community of West African States.

Tinubu, who is ECOWAS Chairman, congratulated Mr. Bassirou Faye on his election as the President of the Republic of Senegal. He equally congratulated incumbent President Macky Sall for overseeing an election widely deemed as peaceful and transparent.

Tinubu’s congratulatory messages were contained in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, titled ‘President Tinubu congratulates President-elect Bassirou Dionaye Faye and the people of the Republic of Senegal.’

Faye emerged as Senegal’s President-elect after an unprecedented victory at the presidential election on Sunday, March 24, 2024. The country’s electoral commission said more than seven million people were registered to vote out of roughly 17 million Senegalese. The civil society observer group known as COSCE revealed that voter turnout was over 61 per cent. To win, candidates had to secure more than 50 per cent of the votes.

Although the Senegalese News Agency, APS, said the constitutional council would announce the results from on April 3, preliminary results showed the opposition candidate, Faye polling about 53.7 per cent.

Also, former Prime Minister and ruling coalition’s candidate, Amadou Ba, secured 36.2 per cent based on counts from 90 per cent of polling stations in the first-round vote, the electoral commission said. Ba who had the backing of incumbent President Sall, conceded defeat based on the preliminary results.

Faye has since welcomed the move saying, “I salute the approach of the other candidates who, without exception, have honoured a very Senegalese tradition without even waiting for the official results to be announced by the authorised state bodies.” A protégé of opposition leader, Ousmane Sonko, Faye has vowed to lead with humility, fight corruption and protect Senegal from corruption and interference from foreign powers.

Reacting to the developments, Tinubu noted that “President-elect Faye comes with great promise and a sterling record, wishing him success as he takes on this important job of leading the good people of Senegal.”

He said the success of the presidential election in Senegal and the successful conduct of the general election in Liberia a few months ago had affirmed his long-held conviction that the taproot of democracy was deeply established in West Africa and would only grow stronger as it was watered by good governance, justice, and fairness to all.

As the Chairman of ECOWAS, Tinubu affirmed that the successful conduct of the Senegal election was “a boost to the sub-regional organisation in its efforts to promote peace and constitutional order, as well as strengthen ties among member states.”

Therefore, he congratulated the people of Senegal and assured them of Nigeria’s best wishes and support. Last Sunday’s election was the first without a sitting president on the ballot after term limitations were introduced, barring Sall from seeking a third term.

Mr President, kindly put your house in order

Who cares?

The French former colonies that abandoned democracy in place of military rule have not really been free from colonial dominance. I am of the opinion that France really does wish Africa well. That's why they couldn't let them be free to run their affairs. Thank God the French left nigeria on during our colonial era, imagine us with Nigerian names but French minds

But Nigeria's election destroyed it

We need to follow suit as ECOWAS champions and No1 financier


We need to strengthen our systems

So says Bulabu. No shame at all.
A man that came into government through the back door is saying "deepened democracy in ECOWAS" concering Senegal election. Tufiaa.

Our leaders are shameless. This same man whose election was marred by serious irregularities and voter intimidation is talking.

Democracy that is favouring only a few.

hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Better people dey talk, even this election tief dey talk too!

Even a small kid with good access to social media and News know this pooping werey stole the people's mandate with active support from the Deep State of Nigeria and UK....

Abeg just close your smelling yellowish teeth (according to our own dear Werey Reno Omokri) shut before sango remember you!

🤣 🤣 🤣 Tinubu would be looking at them as mumu and people that are yet to wise up.

He will be like "make I borrow these people electoral manipulative sense"

Shame no dey shame Nigeria leaders

If the election is conducted today or even a thousand times, the man with the lost manhood will still take his rightful 3rd position.

Elections are not won on social media. How do you want to win a national election by solely depending on votes from 5 states out of 36 states?

PitObi at his 'one man' world press conference:

People of the world, I won the election. Mahmmod handed my manhood to Jagaban. I came 1st, he came 2nd and Atiku came 3rd. We are going to prove it at the court.


PitObi at the Court:

My honour, you see my Manhood was stolen by INEC but I have no proof. I was just fooling my followers. All I want you to do is disqualify the true winner because we heard he was a drug dealer. He didn't attend Government college and there is a gender error on his university certificate. Please do me this favour.

Final judgement of the learned Justices:

PitObi, get lost from here as you only came here to waste our time. This court adjudicate based on facts.


And that was how "No evidence, you go explain tire" became a worldwide slogan. All thanks to Mr Lamba.
