Reno Omokri, Ambassador-designate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, has challenged Atiku Abubakar’s claim that President Bola Tinubu is 90 years old.
Omokri, in a statement on Friday, also challenged journalist and publisher, Dele Momodu, to testify to the authenticity of a photograph he said was taken with Tinubu in London in 1996.
The intervention came after Atiku, in a BBC interview published on Friday, claimed that Tinubu was 90 years old and said he had evidence to prove the allegation in court.
Atiku had said, “I have a president who is 90 years old now, and who is sick, and I am healthy, I am strong, so why would I not make my services available to my fellow countrymen?”
When the interviewer challenged the claim, noting that Tinubu was not yet 90 and that his age could not be confirmed or denied, Atiku replied, “I have evidence that he is, and I will present it in court.”
