He said the video showed Barrow’s convoy in The Gambia and had been stripped of its original context before being circulated as footage of an NDC rally in Jos.
Ahmad described the incident as an example of the need to scrutinise political claims made by Obi and his party before accepting them as factual.
He maintained that the original source and context of the footage could be verified.
