President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Joe Biden on his election as 46th President of the United States of America. Buhari stated that Biden's election is a reminder that democracy is the best form of government because it offers the people the opportunity to change their government by peaceful means. The Nigerian leader who disclosed that he is looking forward to greater cooperation between Nigeria and the United States especially at economic, diplomatic, political and security levels, added that Biden's election is coming at a time of uncertainty and fear in world affairs. The statement read; Congratulations to US President-Elect Joe Biden on his election at a time of uncertainty and fear in world affairs. His election is a reminder that democracy is the best form of government because it offers the people the opportunity to change their government by peaceful means.President-Elect Biden’s remarkable track record gives us hope that he will add value to the presidency and world affairs. We look forward to greater cooperation between Nigeria and the United States, especially at economic, diplomatic, political and security levels.I urge Mr. Biden to deploy his vast experience in tackling the negative consequences of nationalist politics on world affairs—which have created divisions and uncertainties—and to introduce greater engagement with Africa on the basis of reciprocal respect and shared interests.In a democracy, the most powerful group are not the politicians, but voters who can decide the fate of the politicians at the polling booth. The main fascination of democracy is the freedom of choice and the supremacy of the will of the people.Respect for the will of the people is the very reason why democracy remains the best form of government, despite its limitations from one polity to another, and from one society to another.The post Your election is coming at a time of uncertainty and fear in world affairs - Buhari congratulates Joe Biden on election as 46th President of the United States appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
