The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has come under heavy criticism for allegedly using the photo of former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke, for his documentary.
It would be recalled that Television Continental (TVC) had some weeks ago ran a documentary titled ‘Bola Tinubu And His Political Journey’, which traced his roots and rise to political prominence.
The documentary depicted the life history and political ascendancy of Tinubu and amongst the clips showcased was a particular monochrome photograph showing some depicted as a young Tinubu in dark sunglasses, well suited, seated with his fingers during his years as a young boy.
Reacting to the documentary video, Duke, while speaking at a roundtable hosted by the Front Fort Media Initiative and the MacArthur Foundation in Lagos, alleged that, “The picture of the boy used as Bola Tinubu in all the documentaries is me. I am the boy in the picture, not Tinubu as they claimed in their documentaries.”
“That photo was taken when I was 12 years old during my school years at the Federal Government College Sokoto, in Sokoto state.” Duke said.
Repeated attempts and text messages sent to the Tinubu camp did not yield any result.
But Nigerians on Twitter have quickly slammed the former Lagos State governor for courting another controversy.
