Our attention has been drawn to a statement currently circulating on social media purportedly issued by H.E. Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, which claims to provide an explanation or justification for a trending video clip showing a male and female in an aircraft. The said video has since been assessed by independent experts and widely adjudged to be AI-generated.
We wish to clearly and respectfully inform the general public that Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole has not issued any statement whatsoever to explain or offer justification in relation to the trending video clip. Any statement being attributed to him in that regard is false, misleading, and did not emanate from him nor receive his authorization.
Specifically, Senator Adams Oshiomhole did not write, authorise or at this time know the author of a write-up captioned “Oshiomhole Writes Nigerians”
For the avoidance of doubt, Senator Oshiomhole will not, under any circumstance, yield to repeated attempts at blackmail, misinformation, or reputational attacks. We therefore urge bloggers, content creators, public commentators, television hosts, and other media practitioners to exercise due caution, professional judgment, and restraint in the dissemination of unverified materials, as further circulation only serves to legitimize and amplify deliberate falsehood.
Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole remains steadfast and fully committed to his duty of representing the people of Edo North and advocating for the voiceless across the country. This responsibility is lifelong and unwavering, and no campaign of blackmail or disinformation can distract from or diminish that commitment.
Signed
Hon. Victor Oshioke
Chief of Staff
To Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole
