APC primary: Osinbajo, Amaechi under fire over failure to congratulate Tinubu

Two All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirants, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Rotimi Amaechi, have been criticized over their failure to congratulate Bola Tinubu on his emergence as the party’s presidential candidate.

A socio-political commentator, Reno Omokri, wondered why Osinbajo and Amaechi had been silent about 24 hours after Tinubu emerged winner of the just concluded APC primary.

In a tweet, Omokri wondered if Osinbajo and Amaechi were planning to drag Tinubu to court.

He wondered if they were planning to institute a legal action over an alleged video during the counting of votes.

“When will Vice President Yemi Osunbade, and the Lizard of Ubima, Rotimi Amaechi, congratulate Bola Tinubu?
