APC Denies Assassination Plot Against Atiku Abubakar
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has refuted allegations made by Timi Frank, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), claiming that the Nigerian government is plotting to assassinate Atiku Abubakar, the ADC's presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections. APC spokesperson Dele Alake described the allegation as completely false and irresponsible political commentary.
He called for security agencies to investigate Frank's claims, which included assertions that Atiku's security personnel had been withdrawn. Alake clarified that Atiku currently benefits from two layers of state-funded security protection, provided by the Force and the Department of State Security (DSS), as a former vice president.
He noted that President Tinubu had recently directed security agencies to enhance protection for all presidential and governorship candidates ahead of the 2027 campaign season, confirming that Atiku's security has not been diminished. The APC campaign council urged all political entities to maintain factual discourse to prevent escalating tensions.
