APC Accuses Atiku of Spreading Fake News Against Campaign
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) accused the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, of orchestrating a fake news campaign to discredit the APC's presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, stated that Atiku was anxious about losing northern votes.
The APC-PCC, through spokesperson Dele Alake, claimed to have uncovered a "well-orchestrated, devious plan" involving AI, deepfake videos, and counterfeit documents aimed at the APC rally and its leaders, including President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State. Alake highlighted a fabricated story involving a security vehicle and a fake letter regarding a supposed N2.3 trillion allocation from the Kaduna State Government for the rally, which he argued exceeded the state's annual budget.
The APC urged the public to be vigilant against these alleged tactics from Atiku and the ADC.
