CLAIM
Facebook video claims to show a massive crowd that turned out to support Peter Obi in Enugu State.
FINDINGS
Findings by The FactCheckHub show that the claim is FALSE.
A reverse image search conducted by The FactCheckHub revealed that the video does not show a political gathering in Nigeria or support for Peter Obi.
The footage has been in existence on social media since November 2024. Keyframe analysis traces the original video back to footage posted by Facebook accounts Political Hazard and Hakim Bundani during political campaign activities leading up to Ghana’s December 2024 elections.
Both original posters captioned the footage as a political rally held in the Ablekuma Central constituency in Accra, Ghana and featured references to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The video posted by Hakim Bundani was also reshared by TV3 Ghana, a Ghanaian news outlet and social media platform.
A search regarding the National Democratic Congress (NDC) cited in the original captions confirmed that the footage shows a political campaign event organised by the party ahead of Ghana’s general election in December 2024.
Additionally, the Ablekuma Central Municipal Assembly is one of the 29 districts in Greater Accra Region, Ghana, further confirming the location is outside Nigeria.

Furthermore, visual indicators within the video revealed the name ‘Galore International College‘, an educational institution situated in Ghana, not Nigeria.
VERDICT
The claim that the video shows a crowd supporting Peter Obi in Enugu is FALSE. Findings by The FactCheckHub confirm that the footage was recorded in Ghana during a rally in the Ablekuma Central constituency in November 2024. It has no connection to Peter Obi or Enugu State.
