On October 11, 2024, a claim went viral with the caption “See Ondo state governor for London having a battle with side chic. These are people who suffocate our political space and aspire to positions of leadership in our dear country. How can a sitting Governor degenerate to this gutter level.”
Attached to the claim is a 5:17 long video.
Claim: Does video show Ondo Governor fighting with mistress in London?
Verification:
A careful analysis of the video showed that the individual in the video is not Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Governor of Ondo State. We found that in the dialogue contained in the attach video, the individual resides in London as opposed to the Governor who resides in Ondo State, Nigeria.
We found that on the day the video was released, the Governor who doubles as Ondo APC gubernatorial candidate was in the party’s stakeholder meeting in Ondo State.
Verdict: FALSE
