OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Refutation of Fraudulent AI-Generated Video Purporting to Feature Dr. (Mrs.) Florence Ajimobi
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Our attention has been drawn to a misleading and malicious video currently in circulation across social media platforms, falsely portraying Dr. (Mrs.) Florence Ajimobi as making comments relating to the 2027 gubernatorial elections.
1. Confirmation of Digital Manipulation
A thorough digital forensic assessment has established that the video is not authentic. It is a product of generative artificial intelligence—commonly referred to as a deepfake—in which facial movements and voice patterns were artificially altered to convey statements never made by Dr. Ajimobi.
2. Abuse of Artificial Intelligence in the Political Space
This incident represents a troubling example of synthetic deception, a tactic increasingly deployed to mislead the public and distort political narratives ahead of electoral cycles. The impersonation of respected public figures through AI-generated content poses a serious threat to credible political engagement and democratic values.
3. Public Advisory on Verification
We strongly advise members of the public, media organizations, and relevant security agencies to disregard this fabricated content in its entirety. At a time when digital falsification is rapidly advancing, responsible verification of sources and authenticity is imperative before sharing or amplifying sensitive material.
Conclusion
Dr. (Mrs.) Florence Ajimobi remains firmly committed to truth, integrity, and the democratic process. All legal options remain open, and appropriate action will be taken against the originators and deliberate disseminators of this fraudulent and misleading material.
