Reveal your real name, background, Atiku Campaign dares Tinubu

The Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign organisation has challenged Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to disclose “his real identity” to Nigerians.

This was contained in a statement by Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku.

“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion, says the Holy Bible. This, perhaps, explains why the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has refused to open himself up for scrutiny but continues to evade debates, non-partisan town hall meetings and live interviews,” Shaibu said.

“Tinubu’s entire life and persona is based on falsehood and thus he cannot address these questions, hence his decision to continue to run all over the place. But these controversies did not begin today.

“In 2007, a former head of the civil service of Lagos State, Abdulrafiu Babatunde Tinubu, one of the eldest members of the Tinubu family, published a book titled, ‘Onijumu Wura: The Tinubu Dynasty of Kakawa, Lagos’.

“Abdulrafiu included the names of all members of the Tinubu dynasty from the 19th century till date. Conspicuously missing from the book was the name of Bola Tinubu. The author claimed anyone whose name was not listed in the book was not an authentic member of the Tinubu family.

“Atiku Abubakar’s history has never been in doubt. His father was Garba Abubakar, a Fulani trader and farmer while Atiku’s mother was Aisha Kande. Atiku was named after his paternal grandfather Atiku Abdulqadir who hails from Wurno, Sokoto State, and migrated to Kojoli Village at Jada, Adamawa State. His maternal grandfather was Inuwa Dutse who migrated to Jada, Adamawa State from Dutse, Jigawa State. Where is Tinubu from? Who are his parents? Who was Tinubu’s father? What was his name? What is Tinubu’s full name? Is it Bolatito, Omobolanle, Abolaji, Bolarinwa?”

The statement also added that “Nigerians must not allow a stranger, an anonymous man with no record to control the destiny of over 200 million people.”
