CLAIM: An X user, @DaddyTwinzz, posted photos of a branded sachet of alcohol, claiming it is being used to buy votes in the ongoing Ekiti state election.
A similar claim was shared on Facebook (see here and here).
FINDINGS: Closer inspection of the photo and a Google Reverse Image Search revealed that the branded sachet gin was used as a campaign material by Hon. Adewale Olatunji during the 2025 Ibadan North By-Elections.
There is no link between the sachet alcohol and the ongoing Ekiti State elections.
VERDICT: Misleading
