Tinubu will be accompanied on the trip by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and other senior government officials. Faye, 44, won more than 54 percent of votes cast in the country’s delayed presidential poll. Senegal’s constitutional council affirmed his victory last week. Faye will become Senegal’s fifth and youngest president since independence from France in 1960. In his victory speech, Faye emphasized “national reconciliation”, addressing the cost-of-living crisis, and fighting corruption as his top priorities. He pledged left-wing pan-Africanism to restore national sovereignty, focusing on key sectors such as oil, gas, and fishing.
