President Bola Tinubu and his Vice, Kashim Shettima took their oath of office as the president of Nigeria on Monday. The swearing in took place at the Eagles Square in Abuja.

Following the event a lot of Nigerians and foreigners have been congratulating Tinubu for achieving his life-long dream of becoming a president.

However, Readership NG observed that the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart from Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, have not congratulated Tinubu.

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.

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.”
