Joe Igbokwe, a keen supporter of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's presidential ambition, has released an old photo of the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s presidential candidate.

The photo dates way back to when Jagaban was young and very full of life, probably before he started his political career.

Igbokwe wrote on Facebook:

"They are not busy. They are looking for anything that will help them but nothing can help.
"They even tell us that this pix is Donald Duke. Awon were."

Moreover, in what came across like an attack on the Obidients, an APC chieftain, Adamu Garba, tweeted about the same photo on Wednesday:

"Another young Donald Duke picture was discovered. Bola Tinubu posing with a picture of Donald Duke since 1988.
"Courtesy: Obidiot propaganda machine limited."

Garba was replying to a tweet by one Elon who said the former Cross River governor's photo was used to represent Tinubu when he was young.
