Nigerians react as Donald Duke confesses that his 12-year-old photo was used to pass off Tinubu as a young man.
A video of former Cross Rivers State governor Donald Duke revealing that the APC used his boyhood image to show youthful Bola Tinubu in a documentary has surfaced.
Last week, rumours circulated on multiple platforms that the APC had used a photograph of Donald Duke in a documentary to pass him off as a young Bola Tinubu.
It was later revealed that the photograph was of a 12-year-old Donald Duke, shot during his high school days in Sokoto.
The photograph was included in Tinubu’s documentary, which was apparently shown on TVC and uploaded to YouTube channels, and told about his childhood, education, and other life tales.
Donald Duke corroborated the reports in a video that has leaked online, saying:
“My disagreement is that my photograph as a 12-year-old is used as his photograph. So they couldn’t find his photograph as a young person and they had to take my own photograph
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 stat.”
Some reactions culled below:

Everything about tinubu is full of lies
Just because he wants to be a president by all means he had to fake alot of things
But thank God his crimes are being exposed gradually
Sometimes I feel ashamed when I see professors defending him

@BrianGCN
No explanations nor apologies were offered… they just pulled the photos down from their website, and moved on with their campaign like that event didn’t happen

Oh my.
Until I saw this video of Donald Duke confirming it *is* his picture being passed off as young BAT in the Bola Tinubu documentary, I’d dismissed all the previous talk.
I thought it was propaganda.
I didn’t believe anyone would be so brazen.
