2027: Peter Obi's supporters caught red-handed circulating fake Jos rally videos - Ex-presidential aide

Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad has revealed that supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have been caught spreading misleading information. Ahmad took to social media to denounce a video circulating among Obi's supporters, claiming it was footage from an NDC rally in Jos, Plateau State.

According to Ahmad, the video actually originated from Gambia's President Adama Barrow's convoy. He stated: "So Peter Obi’s NDC supporters have been caught red-handed peddling a blatant lie, circulating a video of Gambian President Adama Barrow’s convoy and dishonestly presenting it as footage of an NDC rally in Jos, Plateau State."

Ahmad emphasized that taking footage from another country, stripping it of its context, and presenting it as a political event in Nigeria is a clear violation of truth. He urged everyone to scrutinize and verify Peter Obi and his party's claims before accepting them as factual.
