Man Claims President Tinubu Is His Biological Father, Seeks Recognition (Video)
A young Nigerian man has sparked mixed reactions online after releasing a video in which he alleged that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is his biological father.
In the viral footage, the man recounted how his late mother once told him that Tinubu was a close associate of Afrobeat icon, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. According to him, his mother, who worked as one of Fela’s dancers, met Tinubu during that period, and the encounter allegedly led to his birth.
Speaking emotionally, the young man insisted his revelation was not driven by the President’s wealth or political status but by a deep desire for reconciliation.
> “I am not saying this because of his money or power. I just need reconciliation. My mother would never have mentioned his name if it wasn’t true. If it wasn’t Tinubu, she could have easily said Goodluck Jonathan since she’s from Bayelsa,” he said tearfully.
He further pleaded with President Tinubu to acknowledge him, lamenting the hardship he has faced and his yearning for fatherly recognition.
However, he stated that if Tinubu eventually disowns him, he would accept the outcome and move on with his life.
> “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is my biological father. According to my mother, Tinubu was a close friend of Fela Kuti, and since my mother was one of Fela’s dancers, that was how she met him,” he added.
As of the time of this report, neither President Tinubu nor the Presidency has reacted to the young man’s claims.
