If anyone tells you that the man in this picture is 72, tell them that Femi Fani-Kayode said he is a liar. BAT is closer to 100 than he is to 72!
Now watch the magic: The same people who spent 2022 calling him “too old,” “frail,” and “not medically fit” have suddenly discovered that age is just a number. Bwala, who once penned think-pieces about presidential fitness, now insists we’re all ageists. The media boys who questioned his stamina now tweet about his “youthful energy.”
FFK said it years ago. They called him bitter. Now they’re in government, and suddenly the age thing disappeared like it never mattered. Tinubu didn’t get younger. The apologists just got paid.
But now Atiku has said what FFK has been saying: the man is 90 years old. And suddenly the Tinubu defenders are daggers drawn. Outraged. Wounded. The same voices that weaponised age against every opponent are now screaming “foul!” when the arrow turns their way. They opened this door. They made age a campaign issue. They called him medically unfit. Now they cannot handle the mirror being held up to their own man.
The arithmetic of power remains remarkable.
