The All Progressives Congress has debunked claims from several quarters that its national leader and Nigeria's president-elect was previously known as Amoda Ogunlere.

In a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) sheet made available to the public by the APC presidential campaign council, the party confirmed that several controversies had been raised over the identity of its 2023 flagbearer.

In the sheet, APC said the claim had remained a mere accusation peddled by some of Tinubu's political opponents in 2003.

The party also addressed claims that Tinubu was born in Iragbiji, a town and headquarters of Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State.

The town also shares borders with many other towns, especially Ikirun and is inhabited by Yoruba people.

The party, in its FAQ sheet, said:

"This has remained mere accusations since they were first peddled by political opponents in 2003. None of the accusers has ever produced any document to show that Tinubu had any other name apart from being known as Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

"Till now, the accusers have also not proven that he was born in Iragbiji in Osun state."

However, the APC failed to clear the air about where the president-elect was born, even as he celebrates his 71st birthday today, Wednesday, March 29.
