The former Nigerian leader is presently in South Africa for the burial of Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, Premium Times also noted.
The statement by the ex-leader partly reads:
“To put the content of the video in proper perspective, it happened that during Tinubu’s visit to his house last year (2022).
“He met the former President playing his favorite traditional game (ayo) and he started the banter, jokingly telling the former President that, he was shocked to see him playing the ‘ayo’ game at that time of the day.”
More to come…
