Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has dismissed viral images circulating online that falsely depict him in meetings with former U.S. President Donald Trump and Lagos transport union leader MC Oluomo.

In a statement published on his verified Facebook page, Obi described the photos and claims as “fake and doctored,” warning Nigerians and the international community about the dangers of disinformation.

*“My attention has been drawn to some pictures currently circulating on social media, falsely portraying meetings I never had. One of such images purports to show me with US President Donald Trump, alongside a fabricated claim that he praised me. Another seeks to depict me with MC Oluomo in his office.

Let me state categorically that both pictures are fake and doctored, and the accompanying stories are entirely false. I have not met Mr Trump recently, nor have I had any such meeting with MC Oluomo.

These fabrications highlight the persistent dangers of fake news and disinformation in our society. They are not only misleading but deliberately designed to confuse, misguide, and distract the public. Nigerians and the international community must remain vigilant, verify information before sharing, and resist the culture of propaganda that undermines truth and integrity.

For the avoidance of doubt, if I had such meetings, I would have personally made them public on my X handle. My politics has never been about seeking praise or cheap publicity; it is about confronting the real problems of Nigeria and working towards solutions grounded in integrity, accountability, and transparency.

My politics is strictly focused on addressing the plight of the suffering Nigerians, by tackling insecurity, rule of law, education, healthcare, and pulling millions out of poverty.

A new Nigeria is POssible.
– PO”*

Obi’s clarification comes at a time when Nigeria continues to grapple with a surge in fake news, manipulated photos, and misleading narratives. He urged Nigerians to rely only on verified sources such as his official social media handles, while stressing that his focus remains on governance, poverty reduction, and rebuilding trust in leadership.

The Bureau News notes that disinformation has increasingly shaped Nigeria’s political climate, often used to undermine political opponents and sway public opinion.

"They will still shout evidence of divine endorsement.

Obedient came up with the picture of him and Trump to sale their Lord as the ultimate savior recognized by high and mighty

In a counter move, the government of the day who now plays as both the opposition and the oppressed fabricate the MC Oluomo image to quell the propaganda.

Obi no for even answer he get who no know say na lie

Turn the swap involved, some people will say there's always a truth in every lie....

Wasn't it Tinubu who was campaigning with Donald Duke's childhood photo?

Wasn't it Tinubu who hired fake bishops?

Sit this one out, boy.

Obi's supporters want to sell him, they are always found of manufacturing lies.

Even at that, Obi is trying to blame the opposition even when it is the handiwork of his supporters

Why will Obidients fabricate a picture of Obi with Oluomo. For what? Make una try to get sense nau.

Obi go explain tire, the same way obidients played politics last election's, is same way they are been played now

Stick to the topic of discussion and stop sounding incoherently

Peter Obi is very desperate to become Nigeria President but he's not destined to be in that position.

Shalom.

No be everything person dey respond to. If Tinubu was to be replying to each and every criticism he would have lost sight of his Presidency. In his hastiness now look at the error he has committed by called a sitting American President "former". Whoever is handling his social handle is doing him a big de-service.

Peter Obi and MC whaaaattt?? 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Light and darkness CAN NEVER cross paths.

obi if you like snap picture with Mohammed, you must give up your ambition and support atiku

If I were him, I won't even bother to respond to that because every sensible person knows it was edited photos.

You rarely see a sitting president meeting with Trump in that lonely oval office, let alone a presidential candidate in a country he once regarded as sithole. Obi and Oluomo too are very far in everything to have taking picture together.

Journalism is now a joke

Their region are always in the habit of trying their lucks, when it backfires, they blame it on their opposition. I remember the praying mat” debacle during last campaign, they intend to deceive the Muslims they love to hate and started sharing praying mat with obis picture and obedient on it, the next thing ,they denied that it was Apc that gave them the idea! Clowns .
