The President said Nigeria looks forward to working closely with Burnham’s government to advance shared goals and build on the historic ties that exist between both nations.

Burnham became the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister after replacing Keir Starmer, following Starmer’s resignation from office. The former Mayor of Greater Manchester was subsequently appointed Prime Minister by King Charles III after emerging as the new leader of the Labour Party.
