The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Atiku Abubakar, has lambasted the Presidential Campaign Organisation of the for shopping for endorsements and begging United States President, Joe Biden, to call to congratulate Bola Tinubu.
The APC PCC Director of New Media, Femi Fani-Kayode, had taken to Twitter to say that although the US State Department had congratulated Mr Tinubu, there was a need for Mr Biden to add his voice as both the US and Nigeria shared a historic relationship. "Yes, the American State Department and the American Ambassador to Nigeria both congratulated Asiwaju. For this, we are eternally grateful, and it reflects a measure of respect. However, it's time for Joe to pick up the phone and add his voice. We are a big nation: we deserve no less," Mr Fani-Kayode tweeted.

Mr Shaibu described Mr Fani-Kayode's action as appalling even as he called on Mr Tinubu and his team to stop forcing foreign countries to recognise the"sham election conducted byHe added,"After being the beneficiary of the worst and most fraudulent election in the history of Nigeria, Tinubu and his ilk are now running from pillar to post, begging Western powers to recognise Tinubu. This is the height of desperation.
