Tinubu was made Ambassador Extraordinaire in the country in due time.
The ex-president described Tinubu as the
biggest pan-Africanist, adding that Tinubu had always supported African
presidents.
Speaking on his relationship with Tinubu, he
said: “Tinubu is the biggest pan-Africanist I have seen. Before I met Tinubu, I
had noted his accomplishments, right from when he was governor. I see him as a
‘Lion of Africa’ because of his contributions towards the stability and development
of Africa. He has always supported African presidents who were pan-Africanists
in disposition and others.”
The former president expressed confidence in
the ability of Tinubu to do well as president.
Conde said, “I am convinced that Tinubu’s
leadership will be good for Nigeria. Nigeria is a country other West African
nations look up to. I am happy for Tinubu. Anything he may require of me to
make his government successful, in my personal capacity, I will willingly do.
He helped us in Guinea and I will never forget that. Nigerians should pray for
the success of Tinubu’s government because his leadership will be impactful.”
