“The President assures President-elect Déby that Nigeria will continue to work closely with the Republic of Chad, as both countries seek to enhance peace, security, and shared prosperity for the mutual benefit of their peoples.

“The President also calls for sustained, friendly cooperation between both nations, while wishing the President-Elect success as he undertakes this noble service to the people of Chad.”

Chad’s military leader, Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, who emerged victorious in this week’s presidential election, secured a first-round win based on preliminary official results announced on Thursday evening.

Naija News understands that this outcome further solidifies his family’s longstanding control over the Republic of Chad.

It is worth noting that the election held on Monday was a significant step towards ending a period of military governance lasting three years in a country that plays a crucial role in combating extremism in the Sahel region of Africa.
