I especially wish to appreciate the incumbent Prime Minister of the Republic of Benin, Mr Lionel Zinsou, who was a candidate for president, for his exemplary conduct of conceding defeat and congratulating the choice of the people, Mr Patrice Talon, on his victory at the polls. “Such a gesture by Prime Minister Zinsou is rare and should be applauded by all statesmen as the highest display of patriotism and maturity.”
