Veteran flutist and former President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli, has dropped a bomb on the candidacy of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This as the flutist warned Nigerians against voting for Tinubu, saying he was older than he claimed and therefore unfit to run the country.

Tee Mac who claimed that Tinubu is his in-law, explained that his advise to Nigerians is beyond family ties.

According to him, it was important for Nigerians to reflect deeply and consider their choice of next president. He pointed out that despite being an in-law of Tinubu his age still remain a controversy.

The musician stated this while responding to a Facebook post by one Yemi Olakitan, who was declaring his support for Tinubu.

The post reads, “Dear Yemi. Anybody can choose any candidate, but an intelligent person will ask himself the question: do I choose rightly? Is the man qualified? Is he honest? Does he tell us the truth about his age, background, and how he made his money? Is this man healthy enough at 86 to take up the task of a totally run-down country?

“You see Tinubu is my in-law. His wife Remi is my cousin. Her Itsekiri mother and my Itsekiri mother are sisters. I have known Tinubu since the mid-80s personally and even arranged for him to stay in my stepfather’s house (Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony) in London when he went into exile.

“I stopped supporting him and stopped family visits etc when he sold that Buhari to the nation in 2015. My advice to the nation is that this man is absolutely not qualified to become our next president. Respectfully Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli.”
