The Nigerian president also acknowledged the trust and confidence the American people have placed in Trump's leadership. He further commended Americans for their dedication to democracy.

Trump's victory has sparked varied reactions globally, with some nations expressing concerns about his policies. However, Tinubu's message signals a willingness to work together and address shared challenges.

Despite these challenges, Trump secured 270 electoral votes by winning Pennsylvania and Alaska, edging out Vice President Kamala Harris.
