The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has addressed the controversies concerning his age, school and work history.
Tinubu provided these answers while speaking at Chatham House in London, UK on Monday.
The former governor of Lagos State noted that he was born on March 29, 1952.
He bragged that those who disputed claims that heās from the Tinubu family should request for a DNA test.
On his academic and work records, Tinubu claimed he has received his original certificate from Chicago State University.
He also said Mobil Oil has attested to his outstanding record.
Tinubu said: āAt the time of birth, I was dated March 29, 1952. Then, I donāt think Iād decided to be President of Nigeria, not even that I would go into politics.

āChicago State University where I graduated has now attested to that. I can announce that Iāve received my original replacement degree certificate from them.
