President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Ambassador Bankole Adeoye on his re-election as the African Union (AU) Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, describing it as a “well-deserved” victory.
“His leadership and dedication to conflict resolution, governance, and regional stability have been instrumental in advancing Africa’s security architecture,” Tinubu stated on his verified X handle, @officialABAT, on Wednesday.
In another diplomatic milestone, Nigeria was also re-elected to the AU Peace and Security Council with an overwhelming 46 votes out of 47, further solidifying the country’s role as a key player in African security and diplomacy.
“These re-elections are a victory for Nigeria and the entire continent as we work towards a safer and more united Africa,” Tinubu said, emphasising that Nigeria remains committed to fostering peace and stability across the region.
The President highlighted Nigeria’s ongoing collaboration with fellow African nations and the AU, reaffirming the country’s dedication to strengthening the continent’s security framework.
“Nigeria plays and will continue to play a defining role in shaping Africa’s peace and security landscape. Our collaborative efforts with fellow African nations and the African Union underscore our commitment to this critical endeavour,” he said.
Tinubu expressed confidence that Ambassador Adeola’s continued leadership would enhance Africa’s collective response to security challenges and promote democratic governance.
