Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker and chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has advised the United States president, Joe Biden, to send a "WhatsApp congratulatory message" to Nigeria's president-elect, Bola Tinubu.

Sani gave the humourous advice in a tweet sighted by Legit.ng on Tuesday, March 14.

The PDP chieftain, however, added that the US president may make use of the "WhatsApp disappearing message" feature, implying that Tinubu's victory which is currently being challenged at the tribunal may be overturned.

"My advice to President Biden is to immediately send a WhatsApp congratulatory message to the President-elect Jagaban.

"No matter the issues, he is the President-elect. Biden can just on the WhatsApp disappearing message button just in case," the PDP chieftain said.

Have world leaders congratulated Bola Tinubu?

Since his emergence as the winner of the controversial February 25 presidential election, world leaders, including the United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, have congratulated Tinubu.

While Legit.ng cannot confirm if President Biden has personally congratulated the president-elect, the United States government has since released a statement to that effect.

"The United States congratulates the people of Nigeria, President-elect Tinubu, and all political leaders following the declaration by Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the results of the February 25 presidential election," a statement released by US Department spokesperson Ned Price read.

In another report, Sani threw shade at members of the PDP's G5 governors, saying the governors could not effectively save themselves in the heat of the 2023 general election.

At the peak of the 2023 campaigns and the election proper, the governors had registered their grievances with the leadership of the PDP by refusing to support the party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

However, Sani said the G5 governors would not have made any difference to the PDP in the 2023 presidential election.
