On Monday, APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu was at the Chatham House in London, and he spoke on some issues concerning his personal life. He maintained that his birth, academic, and professional records are consistent. He addressed his critics, too, saying that they were only wasting their time and money digging up issues about him.

During his appearance at Chartham House in London, Tinubu spoke on the topic: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 Elections: Security & Economic Development and Its Foreign Policy Imperatives’.

While speaking, the APC presidential candidate addressed the controversy over his early days, telling his detractors to request a DNA test to validate that he is a true son of the Tinubu family.

Asked to clear the air on some of the issues surrounding his formative years, Tinubu said the question is “inquisitive, but at the time of birth, I was dated March 29, 1952”.

“I’ve had a very good exposure in life, my record is consistent in the school, in the university, they (critics) are now convinced that they wasted their money and their time. The record is there, the transcript is there showing March 1952,” he said.

‘I’m Tinubu Proper’

Tinubu insisted that he remains a proper member of the Tinubu family, slamming an unnamed presidential candidate accused of not being a Nigerian.

“I’m not claiming another father, I am Tinubu and Tinubu proper. If they want a DNA, they could as well request from us. One of them has even been accused of not being a Nigerian citizen, I didn’t touch that area.

“Equally, it remains the same, Deloitte, Chicago State University where I graduated from has attested to that. Now, I can announce that I have received my original replacement degree certificate from them,” he explained.

The APC presidential candidate said none of his contenders can match his professional records which he described as “outstanding.”

“Deloitte trained me as an accountant. Mobil Oil has attested to my record, outstanding record, I got to the pinnacle of my career in the private sector. Who among them can brag about that?” he queried.

The former Lagos governor was at the world-leading policy institute and think-tank alongside the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai and his Jigawa State counterparty, Abubakar Badaru; former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi; amongst others.
