EXPOSED: BOLA TINUBU BUSTED FOR SHARING AI-GENERATED IMAGE WITH RWANDA’S PRESIDENT PAUL KAGAME

Bola Tinubu is under intense scrutiny after it was revealed that an image he shared, showing a private lunch with Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame in Paris on 4 January 2026, was AI-generated.
The photo, which included a visible “Grok” watermark, quickly went viral online, sparking questions about the authenticity of visuals shared by public figures and drawing sharp criticism from social media users.

While the lunch reportedly took place as scheduled, the AI-generated image overshadowed the actual event, fueling debate about the responsible use of artificial intelligence in high-profile communications.

The striking image, meant to capture a diplomatic moment, instead became a flashpoint for online ridicule and concern.

The discrepancy was highlighted in X Community Notes, where users flagged the image as misleading and emphasized the importance of distinguishing between real events and fabricated content.

Many social media reactions described the incident as a “national embarrassment,” with calls for greater transparency and accountability in official communications.

Experts warn that the circulation of AI-generated content in public spaces can erode trust, even when the underlying events are real.

The controversy has reignited discussions about the need for verification, careful media use, and responsible communication in an era where artificial intelligence can easily blur fact and fiction.
