"Felicitation.

On this epic day in the political history of the United

evolutionary history of the democratic world, the Government
and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria felicitate with
you on your momentous victory at the Presidential election.

While wishing you and your team a successful transition, I

Nigeria and the United States of America, and more productive
partnership between Africa and the United States of America
in the quest for a more stable, secure, just, and equitable
world.

Congratulations!

Yours most sincerely,
Umaru Musa Yar A'dua"
