President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming India’s longest-serving elected prime minister, describing the milestone as a reflection of the confidence and trust reposed in him by the Indian people.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu said Modi’s achievement followed three consecutive electoral mandates and underscored his dedication to public service, national development and global leadership.
The Nigerian leader described Modi as a great friend of Nigeria and a personal friend, noting that he admired the Indian prime minister’s wisdom, courage and commitment to the progress and prosperity of his country.
Tinubu also highlighted Modi’s contribution to strengthening bilateral relations between Nigeria and India, recalling that the Indian leader is a recipient of Nigeria’s national honour, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON).
“This remarkable achievement reflects the enduring confidence and trust the people of India have reposed in his leadership over three consecutive mandates. His dedication to public service, commitment to national development, and influential leadership on the global stage continue to inspire millions worldwide.
“Beyond being a great friend of Nigeria, Prime Minister Modi is a personal friend and trusted ally whom I can always count on. Over the years, I have come to deeply admire his wisdom, courage, and commitment to the progress and prosperity of his nation,” part of the statement read.
