The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu’s age has been questioned by some, but House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila has advised those who are unsure to get confirmation from Tinubu’s deceased mother, Abibatu Mogaji.
Speaking at an APC event in Lagos on Saturday, Gbajabiamila made this claim.
Tinubu’s year of birth has been a source of debate for a very long time.
Wikipedia locked the former governor of Lagos’ profile page last year due to “persistent vandalism,” according to Wikipedia.
Gbajabiamila has now said those doubting Tinubu’s age should ask Abibatu, who passed on in 2013.
“They will ask you a lot of questions. They will ask you: ‘Who is Tinubu?’ Tell them, Gbajabiamila said Tinubu is the greatest politician in modern-day Nigerian politics.
“They will ask you ‘How old is he; what is his age?’ Tell them, Gbajabiamila said if they doubt his age, they should go and meet his mother to reconfirm,” he said.
Gbajabiamila also hit back at those who claimed Tinubu didn’t go school, insisting that “he is more educated than all the contestants put together”.
