In attempt to show that he enjoyed a decent childhood, the picture of Duke, a former Cross River governor was used on his official website and in his documentary.

Duke, however, raised alarm that it was his 12-year old picture that was in the documentary. This gave the opposition more impetus to raise questions about his background.

“I have seen the documentary, I have no issue with it. My issue is that my 12-year-old self was used as young Tinubu because they can’t find any picture of him when he was young. I do not know if I can get justice,” Duke said in a video.
