How Ipob Used Disinformation To Promote Obi Pandora In 2023 Elections by Exclusive101: 7:37am On May 25, 2023
During the just-concluded elections, politicians and their supporters used social media to manipulate public opinion, either by deliberately spreading false information or misrepresenting information to suit certain narratives.

Most times, they either spread fake news about candidates and their parties or manipulate discussions and existing data to earn support and sympathy for their favourites.

A viral post claimed that Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political group, said the Igbos should be allowed to secede if Nigerians do not want an Igbo man to rule the country.

“Nigerians want Peter Obi to be their president by voting for him. If INEC dares to rig the election, Nigerians should protest seriously for international communities to intervene. If you don’t want Igboman to rule Nigeria, then allow them go with Biafra,” reads the quote attributed to Ayo Adebanjo.

The post was shared by one Igbo History on Twitter. It garnered 1.9k likes, 481 comments and was shared 387 times.

This post was amplified by 29 Facebook pages using copy-pasting techniques and sharing the same images. These accounts are part of a network of accounts that share IPOB propaganda and disinformation.

On Twitter, this post claim was first shared by an account, @UmuezeokaTV

Findings by TheCable showed that there was no mention of the venue or date where the elder statesman made the remark. No credible news medium in the country also reported the claim

On January 22, an account named @UzomaPreciousF1(archive) claimed that Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), said every other presidential candidate ignores him whenever they see him, but Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), always greets him.

“Whenever other presidential candidates see me, they will ignore me as nobody because I have no money. Peter Obi always walks to me to greet me anytime he sees me. Even though he is my opponent, I will not deny the fact that he is a humble man. – Omoyele Sowore,” the quote claimed.

The account said Obi’s action shows that he is a humble man.

The post has over 151,000 views, 1,302 retweets, and 5,297 likes.

This claim was amplified by a network of accounts with 9 Twitter accounts sharing original content and 1443 accounts retweeting the content. Of the 9 accounts, 3 were created in 2022. Though the post by @UzomaPreciousF1 went viral, the claim was first shared by an account named, @Thenewage101 as a reply to a tweet by Reno Omokri. The account, @UzomaPreciousF1, was created in June 2021. The other 9 accounts that shared the original content used copy-pasting techniques to amplify the claim

Every thing about them is fake, they so much believe in fakeness and using propagandas to manipulate people thinking they are wise when they are actually not wise. They changed monikers to pretend as yorubas and hausas to diseminate fake information and impassonate many to manipulate people to vote Obi. How they are so much comfortable with lies, fakeness, ingenuity and negativity in every aspect of life is what baffles one.

To them they are wise, not knowing they are most foolish in real sense with deceitful mindsets. God doesn't dwell in lies, fakeness and hatred; darkness can't overcome light. At the end of the day, they made obi loose, how far it could go is to win 15/16 states out of 24 states. In whatever dealings of human life, learnt to always be honest and sincere without injecting lies as winning formular

Many intelligent people have always known who Obi stands for.

Now as to something that has been bothering my mind since. With all the claims that Obi invested in a brewery in Anambra, I just noticed no one has ever shared a picture of it online? Knowing their penchant for telling lies, it is now expedient that we also verify with pictures of the factory before we go back to debating if that was a good investment or not. First things first
