Why Tinubu is afraid to debate— Shaibu

All Progressives Congress presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu has many things to hide, hence his reluctance to engage in political debates with his opponents. Phrank Shaibu, who is special assistant to the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, said Sunday in a statement that Mr. Tinubu has a shady past he does not want the Nigerian public to see. In the statement titled ‘Reveal your real name, background,” Mr. Shaibu said: “But these controversies did not begin today. In 2007, a former head of the civil service of Lagos State, Abdulrafiu Babatunde Tinubu, one of the eldest members of the Tinubu family, published a book titled, “Onijumu Wura: The Tinubu Dynasty of Kakawa, Lagos (The Tree). “Abdulrafiu included the names of all members of the Tinubu dynasty from the 19th century till date. Conspicuously missing from the book was the name of Bola Tinubu. The author claimed anyone whose name was not listed in the book was not an authentic member of the Tinubu family. “Atiku Abubakar’s history has never been in doubt. His father was Garba Abubakar, a Fulani trader and farmer while Atiku’s mother was Aisha Kande. Atiku was named after his paternal grandfather Atiku Abdulqadir who hails from Wurno, Sokoto State and migrated to Kojoli village at Jada, Adamawa State. His maternal grandfather was Inuwa Dutse who migrated to Jada, Adamawa State from Dutse, Jigawa State. “Where is Tinubu from? Who are his parents? Who was Tinubu’s father? What was his name? What is Tinubu’s full name? Is it Bolatito, Omobolanle, Abolaji, Bolarinwa?
