APC Challenges Timi Frank Over Assassination Claims Against Atiku

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has issued a challenge to Timi Frank, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to provide evidence for his allegation that the Nigerian Government is planning to assassinate former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is the ADC presidential candidate. The APC campaign council refuted claims that Atiku's security personnel had been withdrawn, affirming that he continues to be protected by the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services.

They stated that President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to enhance protection for all presidential, vice-presidential, governorship, and deputy governorship candidates in preparation for the 2027 elections. Frank's allegations arose from an open letter where he called for international intervention to ensure the safety of opposition leaders, particularly Atiku.

The APC spokesperson, Dele Alake, described the assassination claim as serious and urged Frank to provide any relevant information to assist in an investigation.
