On November 12, 2026, a video went viral on X (formerly Twitter) with the claim that a large number of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters were seen at a campaign rally in Jos, Plateau State.
In a similar claim, an X user tweeted, “Lmao. I earlier predicted Jos giving us one million votes in 2027. Omo, after seeing this, I think we’re doing more than that.”
As at the time of this report, the tweet has garnered over 32,000 views.
Claim: Does Viral Video Show Massive Crowd Of NDC Supporters In Jos, Plateau State?
Verification:
The CDD Election War Room found that the video first appeared online on November 10, 2026.
The video was taken in The Gambia, where incumbent President Adama Barrow’s supporters escorted him through Serekunda/Buffer Zone to submit his nomination papers to the country’s Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
We found that Adama Barrow is seeking another term under the National People’s Party (NPP) and has begun the re-election process, slated for December 5, 2026.
We can also confirm that on the same date, Peter Obi led the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential campaign council to Jos, Plateau State, for a town hall meeting. Thereafter, they took to the streets to engage the people.
However, the attached video in the viral claim was not taken from Peter Obi/NDC’s political campaign in Plateau State.
Verdict: FALSE
The CDD Election War Room can confirm that the viral video was not taken from the NDC’s political campaign in Jos, Plateau State. The viral video was taken from The Gambia, where Adama Barrow moved through Serekunda/Buffer Zone to submit his nomination papers to the IEC.
