President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated German Chancellor Angela Merkel on her victory at the polls.
Merkel was re-elected for a fourth term at the weekend.
Her conservative CDU/CSU bloc has seen its worst result in almost 70 years but will remain the largest in parliament.
The Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a statement said President Buhari felicitates with the German Chancellor’s party for producing leadership for the country for over 12 years, and winning another opportunity to sustain the legacy of good work.
He said his interactions with Merkel over the years, especially at the G8 meeting in 2015 and during his visit to Germany in 2016, he came away with a strong impression of her commitment to building stronger ties across the world.
President Buhari wished the German Chancellor a successful tenure.
