“Nigeria and the Britain have enjoyed good relationships, and we look forward to developing even stronger ties”, he said.
Buhari also commended Cameron for the role the British government played before, during and after the Nigerian elections.
“Britain, the US, EU, ECOWAS, AU and the UN have played vital roles in ensuring that democratic norms were adhered to during our elections.
Their role in the smooth outcome of the just concluded Nigerian elections can never be overemphasized,” he said.
The president-elect added that he also looked forward to furthering the “special, warm and friendly relationships” between the government and people of Nigeria and the United Kingdom under the new government of Cameron.
