President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Ms. Claudia Sheinbaum on her election as the first female President of Mexico.
Tinubu, in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale on Wednesday, also congratulated the Mexican people and called for the strengthening of bilateral ties between both nations across areas of mutual interest.
“The election of Sheinbaum accents the voices of women in government and shatters gender political glass ceilings.
“It sends a reverberating message across the world that women must not only be participants but principal architects in shaping and implementing decisions affecting the lives of many,” said Tinubu.
Sheinbaum won the Mexican presidential election by a landslide, becoming the first female President in the country since its independence in 1821.
