Presidency Clarifies Controversial Tinubu-Kagame Image Amid AI Speculation

The Nigerian Presidency addressed the viral image of Bola Tinubu meeting Paul Kagame, clarifying that it was not AI-generated but improved using an AI tool. The original photo was from a private lunch in Paris.

The image, shared on Tinubu's social media, drew criticism for the visible watermark. Dada Olusegun, a special assistant to the President, reposted the image, prompting further scrutiny.

The incident has led to a broader discussion on the use of AI in altering images associated with high-profile political events in Nigeria.
