In a congratulatory message on Wednesday, Tinubu highlighted the significance of Ibrahim's election during a critical period for the UN, which is undergoing significant financial realignment and reform.

He noted Ibrahim's extensive experience in public service, diplomacy, and business leadership, particularly his previous role as Chairman of the Nigerian Senate Committee on Budget and Appropriations.
