(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The news that former Cross Rivers State governor, Donald Duke has claimed ownership of the childhood picture used in the documentary of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has sparked social media reactions.

African Examiner recalls that in the aftermath of the alleged involvement of Bola Tinubu in drug trafficking and his academic antecedents, the media team of the former governor of Lagos State issued a documentary where they chronicled the early life of Bola Tinubu.

In the video, a young picture of Tinubu was seen. However, Donald Duke reacting to the documentary has stated that he is the one in the picture and not Tinubu.
Donald Duke had said: “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 State.”

Reacting to this development, some Nigerians took to their social media accounts to react to this development. The African Examiner gathers some of their thoughts below:

@elonchorch writes: “Donald Duke should sue @tvcnewsng for linking him with a drug criminal.”

@DavidHundeyin writes: “Donald Duke should be specific and name TVC. It was TVC’s low-quality propaganda documentary that used his photo and claimed that it was The Drug Pusher’s childhood photo. Stop using vague terms like “their documentaries.” Who are the “they”? Name names with your chest please.”
