Paul Ibe, media aide to Atiku Abubakar's presidential campaign for the African Democratic Congress, has sarcastically responded to criticism over his use of the name "Bola" to refer to President Bola Tinubu. Ibe, in a post on X, apologized for the mistake and admitted that he should have referred to the president as "Amoda," a name he believes has long been associated with Tinubu.
He added that the controversies surrounding Tinubu's name, background, certificates, records, and documents have made addressing the president a matter of additional explanation. Ibe's post comes as political exchanges between supporters of the Tinubu administration and opposition figures intensify ahead of the 2027 general election.
Tinubu's educational records have been the subject of political controversy for years, with differing interpretations of issues surrounding his name and personal records.
