Former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has deleted a tweet congratulating Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his election victory in Nigeria, glamsquad reports
Sirleaf took to Twitter on Monday, March 6, to say: “Congratulations to @officialABAT on his win in #Nigeria, and thank you to the Nigerian people for exercising their democratic right to vote. I urge the new President to champion #WomenLeaders in his administration and to keep women’s and girls’ rights a top priority.”

Sirleaf has since deleted her congratulatory message and has not stated why.
