The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has felicitated the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Andy Burnham, on his election and assumption of office.
Odumegwu-Ojukwu disclosed this in a statement issued by Kimiebi Ebienfa, Spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Wednesday in Abuja.
She also lauded the smooth and orderly democratic transition in the United Kingdom, saying the British people and institutions have enduring commitment to constitutional democracy.
According to her, Burnham’s leadership comes at a pivotal time.
“We are confident that his vision for economic renewal, decentralisation of power, and tackling cost-of-living challenges will strengthen the United Kingdom for the benefit of its citizens,” the minister added.
