ADC Challenges APC's Deepfake Allegations Amid Economic Critique
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has demanded that the All Progressives Congress (APC) provide evidence for its claims that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and the ADC planned to use deepfake videos and fabricated documents to undermine the APC's presidential campaign rally in Kaduna. Phrank Shaibu, the Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, responded to APC spokesperson Dele Alake's allegations, which included claims of a letter stating that the Kaduna State Government approved ₦2.3 trillion for the rally.
Shaibu criticized the APC's economic policies, attributing rising living costs and declining purchasing power to the ruling party's governance rather than alleged opposition propaganda. He stated that the APC's accusations lacked evidence and were a diversion from its failures, citing high petrol and diesel prices and food inflation.
Shaibu also questioned the necessity of security for campaign billboards, emphasizing the visible economic struggles faced by Nigerians.
