Ex-governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, has alleged that his picture is being used in documentaries to depict the childhood of a presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Duke made the disclaimer while speaking with editors during a roundtable session that was organised by the Front Fort Media Initiative and the MacArthur Foundation held recently in Lagos.
The documentaries which were televised some months ago on TVC, and also uploaded on various YouTube channels, used a slew of photos and videos to narrate the life history, political ascendancy, and achievements of Tinubu, the presidential of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In one of the documentaries, a particular monochrome photograph of a young boy in dark sunglasses, seated and with his fingers joined together, was cited as Tinubu during his years as a young boy.
However, Duke said he took the photo being used in Tinubu’s documentaries when he was 12 years old in Sokoto State.
“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 stated.
