Reno Omokri, Ambassador-Designate of Nigeria to Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, has released a time-stamped photograph of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu taken on November 11, 1999, in an attempt to counter recent claims that the President is 90 years old.

According to Omokri, the photograph was taken approximately six months after Tinubu was sworn in as Governor of Lagos State. He said the occasion was an Islamic lecture delivered by the late Sheikh Alhaji Arazim Idowu Alaaya, then National Missioner and Chief Imam of the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria.

Omokri also claimed that a video of the event is available and offered to share the photograph’s metadata with anyone interested in verifying its authenticity. He further encouraged members of the public to reverse-search the image using open-source search engines or artificial intelligence tools.

“If President Tinubu is indeed 90 years old, as has recently been alleged, then he should have been 63 when this photo was taken in 1999,” Omokri said.

He then posed a rhetorical question: “With the fear of God, answer this question: Does this look like a 63-year-old?”

The post comes amid renewed public debate over President Tinubu’s age and identity, with political figures making competing claims about his age and personal records.
