APC-PCC Denies Assassination Claims Against Atiku Abubakar

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) has denied any plot to assassinate Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The council asserted that Abubakar's security details have not been withdrawn and called for a focus on substantial political issues rather than character assassination.

This response follows allegations made by Timi Frank, a former deputy national publicity secretary of the APC, which the APC-PCC described as false and urged him to provide evidence. Dele Alake, the campaign spokesperson, stated that Abubakar is well protected by the Police and the Department of State Security.

President Bola Tinubu has directed security agencies to enhance protection for all presidential candidates, including Abubakar, who enjoys two levels of state-funded security. The APC-PCC characterized Frank's claims as typical opposition tactics aimed at inciting political tension.
