President Muhammadu Buhari has sent his congratulatory message to salute the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel on her re-election for another term.

In a letter to the German leader, the President said he was delighted to learn of the successful conclusion of the inter-Party negotiations to form a new government after the last election in Germany.

President Buhari told Chancellor Merkel that her victory “is a testimony of her hard-work, competence and trust of the German people, qualities which are much admired in many parts of the world especially here in Africa.”

"The said government and people of Nigeria greatly value Merkel's humanity and concern for refugees-wishing her and the new Cabinet, a successful new term of office."

Like the Russian Leader, President Buhari said Nigeria looks forward to greater cooperation between Nigeria and Germany as both countries strive to confront shared challenges.
