Journalist Sam Omatseye has come under fire on social media for claiming an old photo of President Muhammadu Buhari and President-Elect Bola Tinubu was taken on Wednesday.
Omatseye posted the photo on Twitter with the caption, “Asiwaju Tinubu. President-elect and President Buhari at Mecca, Saudi Arabia today, April 12, 2023.”
However, Netizens discovered the photo was taken in May 2019 when Buhari broke Ramadan fast with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Mr Omatseye, a columnist at The Nation, wrote a controversial article titled ‘Obi-tuary’ in 2022 where he alleged that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party Peter Obi was riding on the Biafran agenda to push himself as a southern candidate.
See below what Netizens are saying about his tweet:
