President Muhammadu Buhari has joined world leaders in congratulating Brazil’s newly elected President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on winning a hard-fought, divisive runoff election.
In a statement issued on Monday by the presidential spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, Buhari congratulated the new leader on staging an astonishing comeback after leaving office and serving a jail term.
