NDC Was Caught Substituting President Barrow’s Gambian Crowd For Peter Obi’s Crowd In Jos — Onanuga

In a post on his verified X account on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has accused the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) of using images of a crowd associated with Gambian President Adama Barrow to portray the turnout at Peter Obi’s political gathering in Jos.

Onanuga made the allegation describing the development as a scandal and questioning the authenticity of the crowd images circulating online. He wrote: “NDC was caught substituting President Adama Barrow’s Gambian crowd for Peter Obi’s crowd in Jos. What a scandal! In the age of AI, anything is POssible.”

The presidential aide’s post also featured a series of reactions from other X users discussing the crowd images and making allegations about the political movement associated with the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate.

One of the posts shared by Onanuga was from an X user identified as LEGENDARY J.O.E, who accused Obi and his supporters of presenting misleading information about the size of their political gatherings. The user wrote: “As usual, Peter Obi and his cult of miscreants must manufacture falsehood, massage fiction and parade borrowed crowds to keep their fast-extinguishing political movement on artificial life support.”

The post also included a response from another X user, Engr Cajet, who shared a video showing a large gathering and expressed support for Obi. Reacting to the video, Cajet wrote: “People’s choice, only someone who is bribed or hate this country will not vote Peter Obi.”
