Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has taken a jab at those asking questions about the age of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,AsiwajuBola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking at the rally for Tinubu and Kashim Shettima in Lagos yesterday, Gbajabiamila, in apparent reference to the controversy over Tinubu age declared that his age is what his mother said he is.
And if they are in doubt about his age, they should go and meet his mother to reconfirm, the Speaker said.
Recall that Tinubus mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, who was the Iyaloja General of Nigeria, died in June 2013.
But the Speaker, who spoke at the rally, told the APC supporters to educate the undecided Nigerians about Tinubu, saying he is the greatest politician in modern day Nigeria.
According to him, They will ask you how old he is; Tell them he is the age his mother said he is. And if they are in doubt of his age, tell them go and meet his mother to reconfirm. If they say hes not educated. Tell them he is more educated than all the contestants put together.
If they tell you he is wanted in America. America has said repeatedly they do not know what they are talking about. When they said he is corrupt, tell them he is the most investigated in Nigerias history and nothing has been found against him, he stated.
