President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, has congratulated the President-elect, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on his victory at the poll and also extended an invitation to him to visit the IOC Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.

For your team, I wish you all the very best and a great success.”

You may also consider visiting the Olympic Museum, in which the great contribution of your country to the Olympic Movement is reflected,” Bach wrote in the letter signed by him.
