“I sincerely congratulate Mr. Keir Starmer, and the Labour Party UK on the landslide victory they recorded in Thursday’s election.
“May the victory translates to a better and new chapter for all the UK residents as you remain committed to your electoral promises.
“I also hope that your government would promote stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria, and help in deepening our democracy, especially during these challenging times.
