The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has addressed the controversies concerning his age, school and work history.<\/p>\n
Tinubu provided these answers while speaking at Chatham House in London, UK on Monday.<\/p>\n
The former governor of Lagos State noted that he was born on March 29, 1952.<\/p>\n
He bragged that those who disputed claims that he\u2019s from the Tinubu family should request for a DNA test.<\/p>\n
On his academic and work records, Tinubu claimed he has received his original certificate from Chicago State University.<\/p>\n
He also said Mobil Oil has attested to his outstanding record.<\/p>\n
Tinubu said: \u201cAt the time of birth, I was dated March 29, 1952. Then, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d decided to be President of Nigeria, not even that I would go into politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy record is consistent in the university they questioned. The record is there, and the transcript is there showing March 1952.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not claiming another father. I\u2019m Tinubu and Tinubu proper. If they want to conduct a DNA, they could as well request for one.<\/p>\n
\u201cChicago State University where I graduated has now attested to that. I can announce that I\u2019ve received my original replacement degree certificate from them.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeloitte trained me as an accountant. Mobil Oil has attested to my outstanding record. I got to the pinnacle of my career in the private sector. Who among them can brag about that?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
