According to him, "I am thrilled by the fact that you are an experienced politician who had served as Congressman for 40 years and a Vice President for eight years. This is a remarkable track record that gives us hope that you will add value to the presidency and world affairs."
President Buhari also noted that, "with your election, we look forward to greater cooperation between Nigeria and the United States, especially at economic, diplomatic and political levels, including the war against terrorism."
On international affairs, President Buhari urged Mr. Biden to "deploy your vast experience in tackling the negative consequences of nationalist politics on world affairs which have created divisions, conflicts and uncertainties."
The Nigerian leader also called on Mr. Biden "to introduce greater engagement with Africa on the basis of reciprocal respects and shared interests."
