Peoples Gazette used a fake quote to fact-check Peter Obi's statement. In the process, the online platform ended up spreading fake news about what Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi said in Port Harcourt yesterday.
Here's a transcript from the video vs what Peoples Gazette reported:
Transcript from video:
What Obi said:
"And that is why we want people to follow us. Everybody knows their age. They know where we were born. They know where we live. They know the school we attended. We have classmates. This morning, I was telling somebody about Peter Odili, and said Dr. Odili was my senior boy in Secondary School. We couldn’t have played football in CKC without Odili. Anyday he’s not in the match, we have lost. So we know. I have people in Rivers state that went to school with me. Some people, nobody have seen who went to school with them. So we must change this."
What Peoples Gazette wrote:
“Peter Odili was my senior at (CKC); we played football together. If Odili is not able to play, just know we have lost that day,” Mr Obi while taking an apparent swing at the credibility of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress at a rally in Port Harcourt.
Verdict:
The person that rushed to do a fact-check is either mischievous, unintelligent or a purveyor of fake and adulterated news.
My name is Alexander Thandi Ubani, I fact-check the fact-checkers. Facts are sacred!
Urchins when you fact check Tinubus age Drug dealing? Bullion van?
ATLIEN2027: The whole court system is a microcosm of the whole country. This is a opena and shut case. This terrorist should have been tried, convicted and sentenced to either death or life in prison by now. A first year college of law should have even been able to convict this IPOB terrorist criminal. But unfortunately, the lazy incompetent court system itself is a complete joke. Just adjournment after adjournment. This is the same courts that can't convict crook politicians after so many years of indictment. Sad and pathetic.
Paining paining paining... Iti.. Go and try him naa...
dustmalik: I am an Ebira man (My dad is from Adavi and my mom is from Okene, both Ebira land).
I can assure you that Tinubu doesn't need to worry about Ebira land. His votes are just waiting to be casted on the D-day. He should rather concentrate on other parts of the country.
Congratulations... Na all of us go still cry... This election has thought me never to have pity on any Nigerian going through anything
LeoDeKing: Dino melaye and ipob pigs have one thing in common. The two social nuisance will insult you on social media, then start laughing and be patting themselves on the back.
Return half of what they gave you, they go wild and start threatening thunder and brimstone on your person. They immediately go personal with the foolish threat of tracking you down for a street fight because of social media jab.
Ever wondered how a tout and miscreant like Dino melaye was a god to ipob pigs? They share same trait of barbarians of always taking to street fight when they can't take what they give.
Watch it, Dino melaye will soon start calling FFK for a street fight because of this social media banter. Dino melaye is no match for FFK when you talk about dirty languages.
Masturbating. It os between Dino and FFk.. When it is about IPOB we talk about them.
See how he looks like he's the one eating Nigeria money.
Obi should take care of his party members. President of Nigeria is not his calling, he should try president of beerfraud.
The same respect that Zombiediots had for David Mark when his son died, the same respect I have for their corrupt thieving party members.
One less evil politician in the world.
Very soon we will have none and the political space will be less toxic.
I'm PDP, and yes, we've started campaign a very long time ago. The campaign train even touched my State, Edo state.
Try another one Not everyone is either Bastist or obimumu.
What if you that laughing at the dead die before this useless election?? Please and please my brothers and sisters.. Let us be calming down naa.. We should not let these politicians that doesn't care about us make be behaving like heartless animals
asanausana91: do you even have a father? If I had my first house at the age of 22 then you should know know that I have a responsible father. My father retired as an AVM in nigeria airfoce. Who is your father? Mind you, I don't care who is my father,I only care who iam.
Fool... First house at 22? Lmao... You know you are just stupidly lying.. Your father i am sure he is nobody
asanausana91: like Peter Obi like his supporters. Always emotionally, foolishly aggressive.
Peter obi is someones father...So before you think about insulting him, who is your father? Has your father ever done anything good? Why is it we don't hear about your father? What exactly is he doing now? Playing chess or bet9ja Just wondering
sandraade: Obi lacks the intelligence and courageous heart to govern Nigeria. In fact, listening to his answers to various questions asked him, it’s clear to all right thinking individual like myself, that Obi is not intelligent enough to handle various issues facing Nigeria at this time. Therefore Obi is going anywhere in this coming elections
What about your father?? Where is he? What is he doing at the moment After answering this question you will find out you are just an idiot...
Tinubuwins2023e: How on earth can those clowns think they can win in the first place. Like are they whining us? Obituary win wetin? You think say na only igbo fit campaign, vote and win a presidential election? This people are just dumb and delusional and I keep asking if it's Brain they have on there head or something else. You can't have brain on your head and think like those delusional ipob miscreants.
Hate is a sin, a disease bad than HIV.. Bros seek help.. Do you even have money to eat? You sound so frustrated.. So sorry.. It will be fine
DeOTR: You're an idiot. The same Anambra where I dey since yesterday? We should bring seaport to Anambra? Mumu, come and take it there na, abi is anyone stopping you? The never-do-well is placing his whole generation on a curse because of someone he has no control over. If you're not a fool, you'll know everyone that ever graced that seat had a good intent. Werey thinks governing a diverse country like Nigeria is 2+2. Go ahead and curse yourself because of someone who failed as a state governor. Buhari's government will be like child's play in your life.
This is my fault. I am stupid and yes i am an idiot. Why would i be arguing with some one i don't even know.. Why would i even be commenting?? I am 100 percent sure in real life you cant near me. I am sure
DeOTR: You're an idiot. The same Anambra where I dey since yesterday? We should bring seaport to Anambra? Mumu, come and take it there na, abi is anyone stopping you? The never-do-well is placing his whole generation on a curse because of someone he has no control over. If you're not a fool, you'll know everyone that ever graced that seat had a good intent. Werey thinks governing a diverse country like Nigeria is 2+2. Go ahead and curse yourself because of someone who failed as a state governor. Buhari's government will be like child's play in your life.
DeOTR: This is to what end? Please don't include your innocent generation in this your rubbish prayer. Will you even pray your life be like how PO governed Anambra in the first place? It's good to support who you want, but don't even trust your life with anyone, let alone place your whole generation on a curse if someone you've most probably never met didn't perform. I'm sure some people said this same about Buhari in 2015. F**k! What people do in the name of politics. I'm certain PO children would never say this nonsense you wrote up there.
Shut up... Have you ever been to Anambra state? You probably talking shit... Fools be comparing Lagos to Anambra... Brind the seaport down to East and see wonders...Ugly mofus
DeOTR: This is to what end? Please don't include your innocent generation in this your rubbish prayer. Will you even pray your life be like how PO governed Anambra in the first place? It's good to support who you want, but don't even trust your life with anyone, let alone place your whole generation on a curse if someone you've most probably never met didn't perform. I'm sure some people said this same about Buhari in 2015. F**k! What people do in the name of politics. I'm certain PO children would never say this nonsense you wrote up there.
One of my Igbo friends ask me to vote Obi for the sake of the future of our children (their usual rhetoric)
I equally asked him back, what has been the future of those children of Anambraians when Obi was governor of Anambra state years ago.
He went mute, then I told him that those children are the Unknown gun men/ESN, kidnappers that disturb the East & imposed sit out home on her.
Let us leave this... Can we place blessings upon our selves? I start.. May my life and that of my generation be like what ever Peter obi is going to offer as a president of Nigeria in Gods name Amen!!! Please bless your self using your preferred candidate like i have just did.. GOD IS HERE TO IMPLEMENT THIS.
Tochj: Instead of cursing a Man like this one Pray for him As u can see ,his parents failed Him That's why he is a problem to himself, his immediate environment and the nation. His type voted a disaster like Buhari and He is ready to vote another double disaster.
Na vex mehn... I wish i can see that bastard one on one i swear down i will shock his life
ipobcannibals: May this demon rot in hell! He’s the first aviation minister in the 1st republic and a sponsor of ipog terrorists. He went to president Muhammadu Buhari and asked for the release of hunchback namadi cownu.
Devil go receive an for hell fire!
May your father die, may your mother die. May you remain in poverty... Idiot
iwaeda: Chelsea team news Chelsea will be without injured quartet Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and N’Golo Kante against Red Bull Salzburg.
James and Fofana are sidelined with knee injuries, while Kante faces months out with a hamstring issue.
According to head coach Graham Potter, Koulibaly’s issue is “not too serious” but he did not travel to Austria for the Champions League Group E fixture.
Red Bull Salzburg team news Injury-hit Red Bull Salzburg will hope to boost their own aspirations of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League ahead of concluding the group phase next week away to Serie A champions AC Milan.
Their cause is not helped by the injury absences of Nicolas Capaldo (knee), Fernando (thigh), Sekou Koita (thigh) and Samson Tijani (leg), while Bernardo (illness), Dijon Kameri (shoulder), Oumar Solet (thigh) and Andreas Ulmer (adductors) are doubts.
Wickedfacts: Push and start campaign. Campaigning like a fugitive. Has he finished visiting flooded areas and donating 1 and half carton of Indomie? Those wicked Tinubu boys will organise another mammoth walk and Obi will run enter house again. Lying coward
APCnaPDP: That’s the bitter truth. Obi cannot win in 2023. However, what he has done via his supporters is a big win for Nigeria. If his supporters can continue to demand good leadership, Nigeria will get it right in few years time. God bless Nigeria.
You are depending on his supporters to keep pushing for good leadership but obi cannot win? . You really need serious surgery in your brain. After his supporters finished pushing for good governance. Tinubu and Atiku will then win to do what exactly? Do you have sense at all? What would these men do? Give you the good governance the people they said would Labour in vain pushed for?? You are totally sick i swear!!! Tufiaaaaa
Neddstark: If this foolish boy continues like this,the next time there may be no next time. You can't be taunting others because they allow you in their region, whilst in your region your proud angels are killling policemen, soldiers and all other uniformed men.
muykem: God bless the soul of Queen Elizabeth 11. Rest in peace mother of the world. I support that UNN should be named after her as a symbol of peace and unity in Nigeria.
9icest: Nairaland has gone to the dogs. Shame Seun watched this vibrant forum become a beer palor political wing where asinine and vapid trash are been posted daily all in the name of ethnic political propaganda -- to support PO. Sadly, if this site was owned by an Ibo, no single Yoruba man will have a voice in it, and its sad Seun is shortchanging his own people to please some hopelessly ungrateful people. Dont worry, when they are done with you, they will still shyt on your head. The MOD should pls delete my account forever. Ive given up on this pathetic forum.
