Michael Blackson's assumptions about Bola Tinubu's age spark debate online

@Tcombolo said:

It pains me as a Ghanaian that Nigeria chose that man.

@ThankGod_Ajayi commented:

He is in his late 200s, or so we think. He is older than Biden. I mean, Biden has been alive since World War 1. This man was part of Christopher Columbus's crew

@SurvivedaPeace opined:

No Nigerian knows his real age, schools attended or even real parents. He is an unmitigated Fraud. He is more likely over 80 years old.

@AdeRazakGold said:

We didn't choose that man. They heavily rigged that election. Peter Obi is our President, and he was heavily rigged.
