Atiku Accuses Presidency of Smear Campaign with Fake News

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar accuses the Presidency of spreading propaganda and disinformation to tarnish his image before the 2027 elections. Atiku's media adviser, Paul Ibe, alleges that a faceless mercenary named Kola Johnson, allegedly sponsored by the Tinubu administration, is behind fake press releases aimed at discrediting Atiku.

The accusations highlight the intensifying political rivalry and smear campaigns between the opposition leader and the ruling government, raising concerns about the use of misinformation in Nigerian politics.
