Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday, delivered a speech at the Chatham House, United Kingdom.

During his speech, Tinubu also addressed the controversy over his age and educational record.

Speaking on his background, the former governor said: “I am Tinubu and Tinubu proper”.

“At the time of birth, I was dated March 29, 1952 in the family record. I didn’t think that day I had determined or decided to be president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or even go into politics. I have had good exposure in life,” he said.

“My record is consistent in the school — in the university question, they (opposition) confessed that they wasted their money and time. The record is there. The transcript is there showing March 1952.”

Among those in attendance were Nasir el-Rufai, Muhammad Badaru, Abdullahi Ganduje, David Umahi, and Ben Ayade — governors of Kaduna, Jigawa, Kano, Ebonyi, and Cross River, respectively.

Also present were Kayode Fayemi and Adams Oshiomhole, former governors of Ekiti and Edo, respectively.

Hadiza Bala-Usman, former managing director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), was also in attendance.
