Weah in a statement released congratulating Tinubu said he looks forward to working with the newly elected Nigerian leader in order to strengthen the bond of friendship that exists between both countries.
He also urged all Nigerians to maintain the peace of their nation during such a huge democratic exercise.
He commended outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari for presiding over the organization of the democratic process.
