An X user, @Adabanpegede posted the image with a caption suggesting that the presidential candidate visited Lagos to inspect the Lagos rail project and learn from the Lagos State governor. “Breaking News!!!! Defeated LP Presidential Candidate came to learn good governance in Lagos.” The claim has generated over 100 reposts and more than 900 likes as of October 23, 2024.

Sanwo-Olu, who boarded the train at 5:20 PM and stopped at Ikeja at 5:55 PM, mentioned that the Red Line, designed to carry 500,000 passengers daily at full capacity, would significantly improve commuting in the state. Some officials in the image were seen holding their Cowry Cards, which are used for boarding. However, Peter Obi was not in the photo.
