Reno Omokri has challenged former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s claim concerning President Bola Tinubu’s age, using a photograph from 1996 to question the assertion.

Omokri shared the old photograph as part of his response to Atiku’s comments about Tinubu’s age, arguing that the image provides a basis for examining claims surrounding the President’s age.

The former presidential aide questioned how old Tinubu would have been at the time the photograph was taken and suggested that the image contradicted the age being attributed to him.

The debate over Tinubu’s age has resurfaced amid increasing political exchanges ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Atiku has previously made comments questioning aspects of Tinubu’s personal history, including his age and educational background.

Omokri, a supporter of the President, has frequently defended Tinubu against criticisms from opposition politicians and has used social media to challenge claims made against the administration.

The latest exchange has added another dimension to the political rivalry between supporters of Tinubu and Atiku as both camps prepare for the 2027 election.

The controversy has once again drawn public attention to questions surrounding the President’s age, although political opponents and supporters continue to interpret available records and historical materials differently.

The discussion is expected to remain part of the broader political debate as the 2027 presidential contest approaches.
