Former spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress ( APC), Lagos State chapter, Joe Igbokwe, has been caught up in a fake news storm.
Igbokwe who is also a special adviser on drainage and water resources to the governor of Lagos state, took to his official Facebook account on Saturday, May 30, 2020 to allege that president Muhammadu Buhari has upgraded Enugu Airport to an international standard.
Sharing the photos, Igbokwe captioned it “THE PATHETIC THIEVES SAID THEY REBUILT ENUGU AIRPORT abi?
“Now see our upgraded Enugu Airport. It’s now international! What Okechukwu Buhari is doing for this country, especially for we the Igbo’s na only God go bless am.
“The southeast has never had it this good in terms of infrastructure development by any previous government. Thank you Lawrence Ibe.”
Checks carried out on the internet by IGBERE TV shows that the picture he used to make the allegation was actually an image that was first used in October 2018.
A simple Google Reversed Image Search by this online newspaper website showed several results of the image in question being previously used for Port Harcourt airport and Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport respectively.
