Ian Arthur Bremmer a famous American political scientist specializing in U.S. foreign policy, states in transition, and global political risk took to twitter to quiz Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari’s denial of being a double or imposter.
Buhari in Poland had told a crowd that it was “him” and not a clone or body double.
“It’s real me, I assure you. I will soon celebrate my 76th birthday and I will still go strong,” Buhari told Nigerians in a town hall session in Poland, where he was attending a conference, when asked about Jubril.”
Ian Bremer did not find that convincing:
“That’s exactly what I’d say if I were an imposter. ” Bremmer tweeted with a “thinking” emoticon.
That’s exactly what I’d say if I were an imposter. 🤔 https://t.co/Z0Hpk7LxZt

Body Doubles
Many world leaders and politicians have in the past been noted to have and deploy body doubles.
Late Libyan president Muammar Ghaddafi is believed to have had dozens of body doubles.
A former US president Lyndon Johnson was also outed for using body doubles.
There was wide spread belief that US democratic candidate Hillary Clinton deployed a body double when she fainted in New York.
Images showed a slimmer looking version of the candidate waving at the cameras from a distance.
This event was a major contributor to her political loss to Donald Trump.

Seriously, focus on her feet. It’s like she was dead. Amazingly, she came out of Chelsea’s apartment an hour later. Or did she? Body double? pic.twitter.com/DeENB5dVEI
