VIDEO: Kaduna Rally Crowd Was Real, Not AI-Generated, Says Izunaso
Senator Osita Izunaso has rejected claims that the large crowd at the PBAT Presidential Campaign Council’s rally in Kaduna State was generated using artificial intelligence, insisting that the event attracted genuine supporters.
Izunaso, the council’s Director of Organisation, said the allegations were baseless, noting that the rally was conducted in the presence of thousands of people and streamed live.
He made the clarification on Wednesday after the council’s inaugural meeting at the National Assembly complex in Abuja, where members assessed the Kaduna rally and reviewed plans for upcoming campaign engagements.
Reacting to reports suggesting that AI technology was used to create the appearance of a massive crowd, Izunaso said the council had no reason to rely on rumours when the event was open to public observation.
“No, that is not true. We don’t rely on rumours here. We rely on practicality,” he stated.
The senator explained that the crowd had overwhelmed the stadium in Kaduna as early as 8 a.m., with access to the venue becoming difficult because of the large number of supporters.
“If you are in Kaduna, by 8 a.m. that morning, the stadium will be filled to the brim. Even to have access to enter the stadium was a problem. And these things were live. They were streamed live,” he added.
Izunaso maintained that the live broadcast and the presence of attendees at the venue contradicted allegations that the crowd was artificially created.
The campaign council, he said, would sustain its nationwide mobilisation efforts, with several rallies scheduled across different states in the coming days.
According to him, the next rallies would take place in Cross River on November 2, Gombe on November 3, Nasarawa on November 4, and Ekiti on November 5.
A South-South zonal rally is also scheduled for Port Harcourt on November 7.
Izunaso further disclosed that the council planned to visit all 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory as part of its campaign programme.
He expressed confidence that the turnout at the forthcoming Kano rally would exceed that of Kaduna, citing Kano’s larger population as a major factor behind his expectation.
However, he declined to disclose the council’s mobilisation plans, saying nothing specific about its strategy ahead of the upcoming rallies.
