While Murray-Bruce congratulated Tinubu, top chieftains of the PDP have refused to do the same.
Prominent among them is Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, who expressed his displeasure with Antony Blinken, United States secretary of state, over his call to Tinubu.
Atiku criticised the US official, noting that his call was an endorsement of the “sham” election that produced Tinubu in February.
