Fani-Kayode reacts to US President, Biden’s failure to congratulate Tinubu

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Femi-Fani Kayode has criticised the president of United States, US, Joe Biden, for not sending his congratulatory wishes to the president elect, Senator Bola Tinubu on his success at the just concluded presidential election.

The Informant247 observes that the American president has not called or sent any congratulatory wish since the conclusion of the February 25 presidential election.

The election, alleged to be controversial produced Tinubu the winner.

Fani-Kayode in a post through his Twitter handle, said the congratulatory wishes of the former minister of aviation, was not necessary.

He, however, said: “American State Department and the American Ambassador to Nigeria both congratulated Asiwaju”, asking Biden to add his voice by calling Tinubu.

He wrote, “Whether @JoeBiden calls to congratulate him or not @officialABAT is the President-elect of the biggest, richest, most populous, most advanced & most enlightened nation in Africa & the Western world’s biggest trading partner on the continent. They need us as much as we need them.

“Yes the American State Department and the American Ambassador to Nigeria both congratulated Asiwaju. For this we are eternally grateful & it reflects a measure of respect.

“However its time for Joe to pick up the phone & add his voice. We are a big nation: we deserve no less.”
