The post with a picture showing Oshiomhole holding the ballot paper thumb printed for the PDP has been shared severally on Twitter and WhatsApp groups.

A post shared by FactCheckHub (@thefactcheckhub) on Sep 19, 2020 at 12:13pm PDT

Oshiomhole voting for the PDP allegedly at the election would mean he voted for Godwin Obaseki, the incumbent governor of the state, who is running for a second term.

The duo have been in the news for being at loggerhead.

 

THE CLAIM:

That an image shows a former APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole voting for the PDP in the 2020 Edo Governorship election.

The manipulated image being circulated online.

 

THE FINDINGS:

The FactCheckHub findings revealed that the picture depicting Oshiomhole voting PDP has been manipulated.

A Google Reverse Image search shows the same image posted by Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism, @ptcij.  The image was showing the back of the ballot paper unlike the front as shown in the viral image. Thus, the party he voted for cannot be seen.

The original picture of Adams Oshiomhole dropping his ballot in the box.

In addition, a video of the same event posted by a Twitter account, APCYF South West also showed that the viral image was manipulated. In the video, it was the back of the ballot paper that was shown.

A #viral photo of aircraft wreckage with the claim that, it is the wreckage of a Nigerian government fighter jet shot down by the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
