24-hours later, Atiku, Peter Obi yet to congratulate Tinubu after swearing-in

President Bola Tinubu has been sworn-in as the 16th president of Nigeria.

The former Lagos governor and his vice president, Kashim Shettima took his oath of office at the ceremony at the Eagles Square in Abuja.

More than 20 Head of State and foreigners attended the ceremony while many others have been congratulating Tinubu for achieving his lifelong dream of becoming president.

MyNigeria, however, observed that the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart from Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi are yet to congratulate Tinubu.

The quick on their social media pages showed no congratulatory message 24 hours after he was sworn-in.

Tinubu had defeated Atiku and Obi in a keenly contested presidential election in February.

However, Atiku and Obi are in court contesting the outcome of the election.

Both candidates are claiming they won the election.

Meanwhile, Obi had said he won’t attend the inauguration because he was not invited.

A social media user, @delanoi wrote: “This is bad for Nigeria’s democracy. Obi and Atiku should have congratulated Tinubu over his swearing-in. It does not stop the tribunal.”

@jimmajg: “I think Atiku and Obi should have congratulated Tinubu but still push for their mandate in the tribunal.”
