The former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, on Thursday said that the All Progressives Congress leader and 2023 presidential aspirant, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also known as Jagaban, is not as old as people portray him.
Sani, apparently mocking, added that himself and Tinubu are “both young guys and age mates.”
Sani states this in a post on his Twitter handle which was accompanied with a photo of him and Tinubu.
He said, “Jagaban is not as old as you portray him. We are both young guys and age mates.”
Like many Nigerian politicians, there have been controversies over the real age of Tinubu.
Since the former Lagos State governor declared his intention to contest for 2023 presidential ticket of his party, issues of his age and real identify has remained a trending topic.
Though Tinubu claims to be 69, many Nigerians have doubts about that. While some claim he is well above 70, there are those who say that the APC kingmaker, who now wants to be king himself, may be in his 80s.
