President Bola Tinubu has applauded the decision of his Senegalese counterpart, President Macky Sall, not to seek a third term in office after the end of his tenure.
President Tinubu noted that the decision reveals President Sall has put the interest of his country, the peace, and stability of the West African region above his personal interest.
Sall had on Monday told the people of Senegal, that he would not offer himself as a candidate for the February 25, 2024, presidential election in his country.
There had been protests in Senegal in the past few weeks following speculations about a third-term ambition of President Sall, who is moving towards the end of his second term in office.
Sall is due to complete his second term of office in 2024.
