The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that he has evidence showing that President Bola Tinubu is 90 years old.
Atiku made the claim in an interview with the BBC published on Friday, saying he would present the evidence in court if necessary.
The former Vice President also defended his decision to continue seeking the presidency, attributing his persistence to his opposition to military rule and previous disqualifications from contesting elections.
He maintained that he has a constitutional right to contest for the presidency and expressed his readiness to serve the country, citing his experience, competence and patriotism as qualifications for the position.
Atiku further blamed Nigeria’s worsening insecurity on what he described as government irresponsibility, particularly in the areas of defence and policing.
He promised to tackle the country’s security challenges within one year if elected president.
“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.
