The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has congratulated the President-Elect of the United States of America, USA, Donald Trump, on his victory in the US presidential election.

Ekweremadu, who described the election as “hard-fought”, said the two major contestants gave a good account of themselves, and commended the candidate of the Democratic Party, Hilary Clinton, for calling to concede the presidency to her rival and congratulating him on his hard-worn victory.

He said: “Mr. Trump has rightly described the election as historic. But it is not only historic for the U.S, but also for the world. It is an important reminder to the entire world of the true meaning and essence of democracy as government of the people.

He urged the President Elect to work for democracy, global peace and prosperity because the peace and prosperity of America is intrinsic in that of the entire world.

Senator Ekweremadu also enjoined emerging democracies, including Nigeria, to emulate the democratic and transparent nature of the U.S election, noting that the will of the people and respect for democratic principles must be allowed at all times.
