APC Accuses Atiku of Spreading Disinformation Ahead of Rally
The All Progressives Congress (APC) accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of orchestrating a plan to discredit the APC presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. Dele Alake, spokesperson for the APC presidential campaign council, stated that the opposition intended to use fake news, artificial intelligence-generated content, and deepfake videos to undermine the rally.
Alake claimed that misleading narratives were being circulated, including a photograph misrepresented as evidence of security personnel protecting APC billboards. He also addressed a purported letter from Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani to Abdulaziz Yari, Director-General of the campaign council, alleging that the state government had released N2.3 trillion for the rally, which he described as a baseless lie inconsistent with the state's annual budgets.
Alake urged the public to remain vigilant against such disinformation and to reject the opposition's tactics.
