Conclusion: The image posted by Tinubu’s media aide is misleading as it was taken eight years after Obi’s tenure.

On Tuesday morning, the Special Assistant on Media to Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Dada Olusegun, shared two images on X to compare water transportation during Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Lagos Governor, Sanwo-Olu.

He captioned his post, “Water transportation in Anambra under Obi Vs Water Transportation in Lagos under Babajide Sanwo-Olu.”

At press time, the post has garnered over 54,000 views, has been liked by more than 800 X s, and retweeted more than 300 times.

In the first image, Obi is seen in a wooden canoe in front of a house that appeared submerged in a flood, with only its roof visible.

In the second image, Sanwo-Olu is seen holding the rail of a white boat.

Claim: The picture posted by Olusegun to represent water transportation during Obi’s tenure as governor of Anambra was taken when he was the governor of the state.

Verification: Using Dupli Checker, a reverse image tool for fact-checking, The Guardian checked the images that matched the one posted by Olusegun on Google.

Various similar searches showed up. Two were featured images of news stories published by Daily Post and Daily Trust, two Nigerian-based newspapers, in 2022.

The picture was taken when Obi visited people who lost their homes to a flood in Umueri, a community in Anambra, in October 2022.

Peter Obi was the governor of Anambra between 2006 and 2014.

Conclusion: The image posted by Tinubu’s media aide is misleading as it was taken eight years after Obi’s tenure.

Tinubu’s aide using cheap propaganda to mislead the public. This report is necessary to protect unsuspecting Nigerians from being misled.

What's misleading about the photo? Let me assist you guys with more

Peter Obi and his ers should learn to take responsibility for their own actions.

Peter Obi had horrible and terrible tenure as Anambra state, but today, he's a messiah to all those who lambasted him all through his tenure

I am yet to see people who chew hypocrisy raw like that

It's misleading BECAUSE it has NOTHING to do with "water transportation under Obi"

So Anambra as a state didn't have boats to carry a whole state governor to the scene of flood disaster.

Same Peter Obi you people claimed developed the whole world

Na why una no dey interested in having shame like this

We all know the prerequisite.

Like an APC chieftain Daniel Bwala said, once you APC, the brain stops working.

That's why they are masters in lies and propaganda.

I don't think you understand English. I have no business with you or Peter Obi. If you’ve read the article and still can't see how the aide’s claim is misleading, then you should leave this thread immediately and enroll in an English language class to brush up on your comprehension skills.

Lol, even this fact checking is laughable.

If it was taken after Obi tenure, does that not tell us Obi was a mediocre governor who failed his people during his period as governor?

Below is a court in Anambra. If I take this picture today, does that not imply Obi na uselessss governor wey no fit fix the court house in Anambra?

You are denying Peter.. hahahaha Peter na master of denial before self

With the way some people have been praising Peter Obi, he could have gone to that side with Yatch

A whole Anambra state conveying their state governor with Canoe? Leave transportation or no transportation aside

Una go fact check tire.

Below is an example of Obi scammming Anambra people by lying he signed a monorail deal to complete in few years.

Up till today, no sign of the rail. Fact-checking will only expose more of Obi inefficiencies.

It was deliberate. They’re not even skilled liars. They're amateurs at best. Their propaganda has been so bad, it feels like a group of kindergarteners with crayons and too much Fanta are writing their scripts. They've failed at governance, failed at strategy, and now they’ve even managed to flop at propaganda. That's a hat trick of failure.

Check what the aide said “Water transportation in Anambra and Lagos.”

He never said it was during Obi or whether it was 1999. Basically, what he is showing is that Obi was a mediocre governor who couldn’t set up a normal water transportation system in Anambra.

It’s not only water tho. Even the fire service in Anambra is nonsense. They don’t even have water to quench fire and Delta state usually bail them out almost everytime.

See screenshot of what he said.

After that, reread my post

The fact check in itself is misleading because under Peter Obi as governor , Anambra did not even own one canoe.

Was Peter Obi flying in that picture? What did they use to convey him to that place?

He got to that place with what form of transportation?

Boomdoom:


See screenshot of what he said.

Oh I see now. He mentioned under Obi.

But nothing soil still. If it is still like that in 2012, it means it has been like that even when Obi was governor.

So you can still use it. People still abuse Tinubu of any wrong thing in Lagos even after he left the governorship position almost 18 years ago.

When it comes to their principal, there must be filmsy excuse but when it comes to others, they must be attacked

@the emboldened, That’s exactly my point. It’s misleading. Jabs? Sure, it could as that. But the way it was presented by a presidential aide turns it into a deliberate piece of misinformation aimed at deceiving unsuspecting Nigerians. You can already see how platforms like Instablog and even some Nairalanders, like Helinues, have taken the bait. That’s why I said the fact-check report was spot on.

The picture was of Benue not Anambra in 2022

Dada is daft

Tinubu is surrounded by incompetent and jobless dunces

Just like the other guy who ed a death sentence on a girl for supposedly breaking NYSC rules

Even Sunday Dare the supposed media wizkid released list of appointment and had to swallow it back up out of gravitational shame

How was Peter Obi transported to that place? By car, plane, ship, boat or canoe?

Lagos that you people called slum have boats to transport people by water but the Eldorado that Peter Obi developed are using canoe as means of water transportation

Make una have some shame

Okay, why not share the correct pictures of water transportation during the reign of the Agulu fraud as the governor??

There remains no viable water transportation system in Anambra .

Even the canoe does not belong to the state but was rented by Obi to go take selfies in flooded areas.

During Obi's time as governor , he waded up to his knees in flood waters.

Why lie ?.

Anambra is flood prone and experiences every year without fail flooding across the state.

You are right.

Lot of misrepresentation and overrepresentation on Twitter or social media space from everyone. Even Obi himself is guilty of the same thing multiple times.

Infact, Sanwoolu only made that statement against Obi because of almost the same thing. How can Sanwoolu and other governors be running over to international investors, pitching good things about their states so investor can come, then Obi go to same place and start bandying wrong statistics to affect the outlook?
