FACT CHECK: Did Tinubu Share Ghana Must-Go Bags Containing Cash To Delegates?

A video showing people jubilating at the sight of huge ‘Ghana must-go’ bags has been circulating on social media with different captions, suggesting that the APC presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, induced delegates with money to emerge winner of the presidential primary.

The video has been shared on Twitter, Facebook, and even on WhatsApp status, creating an impression that the Ghana must-go bags are filled with cash Tinubu purportedly shared to delegates to curry their votes during the convention.

“APC Delegate Bola Ahmed Tanibu (sic) is ready for you,” is engraved on the clip.

One Chigozie Alex, who shared the video wrote, “Wondering why Tinubu won with landslide? This video says it all. Even the SE (South East delegates) didn’t vote for their own people same way PDP SE delegates chose Atiku because of money. In 2023, we don’t have the money to match APC & PDP but we have people on our side & we will vote our conscience.”


Verification

Daily Trust’s checks showed that the video was recorded when a host shared souvenirs in Ghana must-go bags at an event in Lagos to appreciate those who attended the party.

The video first surfaced on the internet last year when some blogs shared the video, stating that the bags contained a toaster, cartons of noodles, bottles of beverage and detergents.

In the clip, a visibly excited woman was also heard saying, “this thing (pointing at the bag) is for one person at Ajibola’s party o,” and singing elatedly.

Commenting on the post, one AbdulAzeez raised the alarm, noting that the video was misleading.

He said, “I wonder why we just subject ourselves to be misled, maybe it’s because of the hatred we have for someone or people, we just believe anything that’s said about them even when we see fact to the contrary. The woman was saying it in the video that this is shared at a party. Still some people choose to believe otherwise.”

Another comment said, “This video is misleading. You can hear clearly what the woman said ‘this is for one person at Ajibola’s party’ This video has been trending for more than a year now.”

Conclusion


Daily Trust can confirm that the video in circulation does not involve Tinubu sharing money to the delegates as the poster claimed. It was a video made when ecstatic guests received huge bags containing souvenirs at a party in Lagos.

This was an Owanbe party. Those bags were souvenirs not money. If it's money, there will be heavy presence of security personnels there.

Though it is too early to make any assertions, but it seems as though the 2023 Presidential train has left both Atiku and Asiwaju behind...

That is not money, a person with sense will not contest that na.
I come in peace!

Emilokan Agbado Limited

Daily Trust has been doing a lot of facts checks lately. Have they run out of stories?

Lol

Anytime I see this fact-check bullshit, I know the person involved is as guilty as charged.

Yes

Envelope Fact CheQUE.

Idiots doing themselves

Rubbish, who made you world police to check facts.
Go find better work and do.

That is survivor shared somewhere and that video has been up before PDP and APC primaries for those who cares to know.

But nobody made you fact checker, go and get a job.
And stop your fact checking lies.

All I want is for Peter Obi to take economic power from lagos. He should invest heavily in Porthatvourt, Calabar and Onitsha . Lagos must go down.

Dbull on this one!!!

Make e give me one Ghana must go bag make I sing campaign song for am! Atleast my music go secure 5m vote for am

You no dey finish to check fact

YES

Which fact check?
The question should be did Tinubu share dollars? Did he mobilize bullion van in 2015 to share dollars and nairas? Yes he did as evidenced from several sources.

Tinubu is a bad player in politics and yet, will always preach about advanced democracy. Whereas, he's very backward and insecured thru his acts. Democratic freedom means that the electorates have total freedom to elect leaders that will be able to them. Not by acts of coercion or duress pepertrated by the thief called "jagaban". A very bad example for democracy.

In a sane country, those who spend excessively during elections should spend years behind bars. We are all suffering today because our future has been mortgaged with the price of porridge. Almost all top politicians including Atiku and Tinubu have plundered Nigeria. That's the reason why we must put aside tribal and religious bigotry and vote someone with pedigree and respect for Nigerians to lead us come 2023.
For me and my entire family and wide coverage of friends must be OBIdient for Nigeria to move on. Peace

I sometimes wonder if Nigerian av taking a good look at tinubu and they really want him to rule this country ...anyway sha. just looking at the picture above make me burst out laughing.
