‘I have evidence’ — Atiku claims Tinubu is 90 years old

The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is 90 years old.

Atiku made the claim during an interview with the BBC published on Friday, saying he has evidence to support his allegation.

The former Vice President said he would present the evidence before a court if the matter required legal action.

Atiku also defended his decision to contest the presidency again, pointing to his opposition to military rule and previous experiences with disqualification from political contests.

The ADC candidate further blamed the government for Nigeria’s insecurity, particularly what he described as failures in defence and policing.

He promised to tackle the country’s security challenges within his first year in office if elected president in 2027.

“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?

“You went and voted for someone who is 90 years old. I have evidence that President Tinubu is 90 years old and I will present it in court,” Atiku said.
