Can 69-Year-Old Tinubu Do One-Quarter Of What Obasanjo Is Doing At 85? Omokri Raises Question

Former Presidential media aide, Reno Omokri has sent a challenge to the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 2023 presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu about his health and fitness.

Likening Tinubu to former President Olusegun Obasanjo who on Saturday, as part of activities to celebrate his 85th birthday, took part in a novelty football competition where he scored two goals, Omokri asked if the APC leader can do such physical activities at his age.

Omokri further pointed out that apart from the football game, Obasanjo also played Squash, danced, and jumped before granting interviews to newsmen and receiving well-wishers despite his age.

The former presidential aide made the observations while challenging Tinubu’s physical fitness to lead the nation based on his 2023 presidential aspiration.

He charged the aspirant to prove he is truly 69-year-old and do a quarter of what Obasanjo did at 85.

Taking to his Facebook page, Reno wrote, “General Obasanjo turned 85 years old today. He ran. He played football. He scored two goals. He danced. He jumped up. He played squash.

“He sang loudly. Then he gave an interview to reporters. Now he is receiving VIP guests and well-wishers. He did all this today. Tinubu is 69 years old. Can he do one-quarter of these?”

Naija News reports Tinubu’s real age has been a subject of controversy with some claiming the APC national leader might be older than what he claims and some others are of the view that Tinubu is not healthy and therefore unfit to lead Nigeria; an allegation he has denied several times.
