The Nigerian presidency has cleared the air on the pictures of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his Rwandan counterpart, Paul Kagame taken in Paris yesterday. The presidency says they were real pictures, not AI generated as being speculated.

A release signed by  Temitope Ajayi,
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity,  says the narrative that the picture of Presidents Bola Tinubu and Paul Kagame taken in Paris yesterday was AI generated is not correct.

He said: “The media report and social media comments that followed are misrepresentation of facts. The picture is real and not AI generated as claimed. Both President Kagame and President Tinubu met in Paris had lunch together on Sunday (yesterday);

The two leaders later had dinner with President Macron same yesterday evening. The picture was taken with a phone and obviously had poor quality;

The photographer only later used grok to improve the picture quality. That is not a reason to conclude it was AI generated.

The writer or editor should have asked questions before this wrong conclusion”.
