The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said, those who are still doubting the age of the ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should go and reconfirm from Abibatu Mogaji, his late mum to reconfirm.

The House of Reps Speaker, made these statements while addressing Tinubu’s supporters on Saturday at the APC rally in Lagos State.
Based on official documents submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Tinubu is 70 years old.
The age of the former Governor of Lagos State, however, has been heavily examined and talked about.
Gbajabiamila said: “We are here today to energize the base (Lagos). This is not the real campaign. Everybody here is Batified so we are here to showcase ourselves.
“There is a very small group outside, they are called the undecided voters, now I want to talk to those ones through you. They will ask you a lot of questions, I want to tell you what to tell them.
“They will ask you, Who is Tinubu? tell them, I, Femi Gbajabiamila, the speaker of the House said Tinubu is the greatest politician in modern-day Nigerian politics. They will ask you how old he is, what is his age, tell them, I, Femi Gbajabiamila, said he is the age his mother said he is and If they doubt his age, they should go and meet his mother to reconfirm.
“They will tell you, but they said he did not go to school, tell them that I said he is more educated than all the contestants put together. They will say, but they said, they want him in America, tell them America has said repeatedly that they do not know what they are talking about.
“But they said he is corrupt, tell them he is the most investigated presidential candidate in the history of Nigeria and nothing has been found on him. When they ask about a Muslim Vice President, tell them that God is moving mysteriously in ways that they cannot understand.
“If they ask you what has he done to develop Nigeria, tell them he has developed men and women who in turn have developed Nigeria.”
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, urged Nigerians to support Tinubu by voting enormously for the APC presidential candidate come 2023.
