Fact Check: Misidentification in Trending Photo of Tinubu, Atiku, and Peter Obi

Fact Checking Report: Misidentification of Third Person in Photo with Tinubu and Atiku

The 2023 presidential campaign in Nigeria has been a topic of interest for many, with various pieces of information being shared on social media.

One of the most prominent pieces of information has been a photo that has been circulating, showing Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and a third individual claimed to be Peter Obi.

The photo in question has caused online confusion due to a misidentification in a June 9 2022 Instagram post, where an individual was incorrectly identified as the former governor of Anambra state.

However, after extensive investigation by MandyNews.com, it has been determined that the third person in the photo is not Peter Obi. The photo was taken in 2016 at the Investiture of Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers in Lagos, an event that was attended by several prominent figures in Nigerian politics, including Atiku Abubakar, Tinubu, and Peter Obi.

The photo that has been circulating on social media has been misidentified, leading to confusion and misinformation. MandyNews.com has conducted a deep dive into the matter, reaching out to various sources and reviewing various photographs and event records to determine the accuracy of the information being shared.

In our investigation, we were able to locate another photo that shows Tinubu, Atiku, and Peter Obi together, providing evidence that Peter Obi was indeed in attendance at the event.
