In a statement issued on Wednesday by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, from Abeokuta, Ogun State, Obasanjo congratulated Nandi-Ndaitwah on her election, which followed the ruling SWAPO party’s victory in last week’s closely contested election. Nandi-Ndaitwah, the 72-year-old Vice-President, secured just over 57% of the vote, defeating her closest rival, Panduleni Itula of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), who garnered 25.5%.

Obasanjo expressed happiness that Namibians had placed their trust in Nandi-Ndaitwah, making her the first woman to lead the country. He encouraged her to honor the mandate given to her and wished her success in managing the affairs of the nation.

He stated, “No doubt, the good people of Namibia have spoken and have decided to repose their trust and confidence in your leadership, particularly as the first female President of Namibia.”

Obasanjo went on to highlight that the victory not only represented a vote for her leadership but also reaffirmed the faith Namibians have in her experience, resilience, and background in the country’s political landscape. He expressed confidence that Nandi-Ndaitwah was well-prepared for the responsibility ahead and wished her success in bringing socio-economic progress to Namibia.

“I, therefore, wish you God’s guidance as you face, with vision and vigour, the challenges of lifting the nation up to greater heights. It is my hope that your assumption of office as President of Namibia will witness a further strengthening of the existing fraternal relations between our two countries and peoples,” Obasanjo added.
