Tinubu, who was invited by President Patrice Talon, noted that the proximity of the two countries and similarity in economy, and outlook on development, made it compulsory to collectively pursue the same goal of growth.

“Nigeria and Benin Republic are conjoined twins. We are joined from one stomach. In every aspect, we are one and we share much in common,” he said, during an interaction with journalists.

The President said the vision of political and economic stability of Nigeria and Benin could only be realised by working together, saying that the partnership would be strengthened and upscaled at various levels.
