An old photo of President Bola Tinubu being conferred a chieftaincy title in Abia State while serving was the governor of Lagos State.
Bola Tinubu was seen wearing the Igbo traditional outfit, isi agu as he bowed his head to receive the red cap from an Igbo king.
This photo which resurfaced has sparked massive reactions among Nigerians on social media.
Many believe that the king bestowing the title on Bola Tinubu was the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu's late father.
Taking to social media to share their thoughts some netizens claim that President Tinubu has a chieftaincy title which makes him a member of IPOB.
Another social media user said that President Tinubu is not a detribalized Nigerian that does not care about tribe or religion, as far as you can get the job done.
