Tinubu is 90, I Will Prove It in Court, Claims Atiku
• Defends his own age, says president in panic mode• Omokri: Tinubu is nowhere close to 90• Presidency tackles former VP over vow to open borders• Insists Nigeria’s borders already
Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar claimed that President Bola Tinubu is 90 years old and plans to present evidence in court, while dismissing questions about his own age. Atiku made the claim during an interview with BBC Hausa, responding to concerns over his fitness to contest the 2027 presidential election. However, Reno Omokri, a Special Adviser to the President, dismissed Atiku's assertion, pointing to a photograph of Tinubu and Dele Momodu taken in London in 1996 to question the veracity of the claim.
Meanwhile, the Presidency addressed Atiku's promise to "open the borders," stating that Nigeria's land borders were already open and urging Nigerians to seek facts rather than campaign slogans.
