The Presidency has reiterated that the picture depicting President Bola Tinubu and Rwandan President, Paul Kagame was not an AI generated picture, but an actual event that took place in Paris, France.
According to a statement issued on Momday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, insisted that the event was real.
Part of the statement reads:
“The narrative that the picture of Presidents Bola Tinubu and Paul Kagame taken in Paris yesterday was AI generated is not correct.
“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.
