Abuja—The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has said that he is only a few months older than the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Kukah, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Wednesday, Vanguard reports.
There have been speculations about Tinubu’s age in some quarters, insinuating that he is older than the age he claims publicly.
But Tinubu during the birthday celebration reiterated that he is also a 70-year-old like Bishop Kukah.
He added that he is only a few months older than the celebrant, Kukah, saying he understands the institution that he (Kukah) is building. He however said they both have a bigger responsibility in building Nigeria.
Tinubu said, “You are building an institution in the honour of your 70, I am 70 too I could still contribute. I am just months older than you are.
“But Bishop, you will help build Nigeria. The greatness of a nation is on your shoulder. It’s on my shoulder too and we must build it together. I must and I will contribute handsomely and personally to build and see to the completion of that institution.”
