Veteran flutist Tee Mac has claimed that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu is 86 years old.
Tee Mac, born Omatshola Iseli, made the claim in the comment section of a writer, Yemi Olakitan, on Facebook.
Tinubu’s age has always been a controversial matter. He is however officially 70.
Reacting to Olakitan’s call for the support of Tinubu’s ambition, Tee Mac claimed Tinubu lied about his age.
He said, “Dear Yemi. Anybody can choose any candidate, but an intelligent person will ask himself the question: do I choose rightly? Is the man qualified? Is he honest? Does he tell us the truth about his age, background, and how he made his money? Is this man healthy enough at 86 to take up the task of a totally run-down country?”

Tee Mac also claimed Tinubu is his in-law, adding that the former Lagos State governor is not qualified to be Nigeria’s president.
“You see Tinubu is my in-law. His wife Remi is my cousin. Her Itsekiri mother and my Itsekiri mother are sisters. I have known Tinubu since the mid-80s personally and even arranged for him to stay in my stepfather’s house (Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony) in London when he went into exile,” he said.
The music composer added that he cut off communications with Tinubu following the election of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
“I stopped supporting him and stopped family visits etc when he sold that Buhari to the nation in 2015. My advice to the nation is that this man is absolutely not qualified to become our next president. Respectfully Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli,” he said.
