Bola Tinubu
Popular socialite and flutist and former President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli, aka Tee-Mac, has claimed that Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s real age is 86, not 70 as claimed by the APC Presidential candidate.
The musician who built a huge reputation blowing his signature flute said Tinubu is his in-law through his wife, Senator Remi Tinubu, Tee-Mac’s cousin, hence he knew the story of the popular politician and former governor of Lagos.
In a riposte to a Facebook post by one Yemi Olakitan, a supposed Tinubu supporter, Tee-Mac cautioned Nigerians against voting for Tinubu whom he described as old and sick, hence unfit to lead.
He said Tinubu’s essence and existence had been too shrouded in secrecy to be given the job of leading Nigeria.
He wrote: “Anybody can choose any candidate, but an intelligent person will ask himself the question: do I choose rightly? Is the man qualified? Is he honest? Did he tell us the truth about his age, background and how he made his money? Is this man healthy enough at 86 to take up the task of a totally rundown country?”
He said he stopped visiting Tinubu after he sold President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians in 2015, adding that even as his in-law , he won’t support his ambition to rule Nigeria.
“You see, Tinubu is my in-law. His wife Remi is my cousin. Her Itsekiri mother and my Itsekiri mother are sisters. I have known Tinubu since the mid-1980s personally and even arranged for him to stay in my stepfather’s house (Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony) in London, when he went on exile.
“I stopped supporting him and stopped family visits etc when he sold that Buhari to the nation in 2015. My advice to the nation is that this man is absolutely not qualified to become our next president,” he wrote.
Tinubu’s age, ancestry, educational qualifications and childhood had all been subjects of debate since 1999 when he contested and won governorship election in Lagos state.
