Claim
A video posted by X user @arinzecajet001 (Engr Cajet) on 11 November 2026 shows a massive crowd along a highway with the overlay text “NDC update from Jos, Plateau State.” The caption states: “People’s choice, only someone who is bribed or hate this country will not vote Peter Obi. Nigeria🇳🇬 will be OK.”
The post implies the footage depicts strong support for Peter Obi and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Jos, Plateau State.
The video has generated over one million views, 11,000 likes, and 3.9k reposts.
Verdict: False and Misleading
Verification
To verify the authenticity of the claim, a reverse image/keyframe analysis of the video was done, and the results show that Star TV of Gambia posted an earlier version of the same video. The video captures a large procession of supporters of Gambian President Adama Barrow and the National People’s Party (NPP) alliance escorting him to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) headquarters in Banjul (Greater Banjul area) on 10 November 2026.
According to media reports by GRTS TV, In-depth Media and ACP.cd, Barrow was submitting his nomination papers ahead of The Gambia’s presidential election scheduled for 5 December 2026. The rally was described as a major mobilisation, with large numbers of NPP supporters (many in white/grey attire) lining the route from assembly points such as Buffer Zone / Sting Corner along major roads toward the IEC.
The findings show that the post takes authentic footage of a Gambian political event and misattributes it to a Nigerian campaign context to create the impression of massive organic support for Peter Obi/NDC in Plateau State.
Conclusion
The footage is from The Gambia, not Nigeria. The overlaid text “NDC update from Jos, Plateau State” was added later and is inaccurate. While Peter Obi was reported to have been in Jos around the same period for NDC-related activities, this specific aerial video of the dense highway crowd is not from that event or any location in Nigeria.
The video does not show an NDC or Peter Obi event in Jos; rather, it shows supporters of Gambian President Adama Barrow arriving at the IEC in Banjul on 10 November 2026.
