APC Accuses Atiku of Sabotaging Kaduna Rally with Fake News

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused former Vice President Atiku and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of a deliberate campaign to sabotage its presidential campaign rally in Kaduna on October 24, 2026. In a statement by Dele Alake, spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, the party claimed that Atiku and the ADC employed artificial intelligence, deepfake videos, and forged documents to manipulate public perception and discredit President Tinubu, Governor Uba Sani, and other party leaders.

Alake pointed to a misrepresented photograph of a security vehicle near an APC campaign billboard as the starting point of this scheme. Additionally, a letter falsely attributed to Governor Uba Sani, claiming the release of N2.3 trillion for the rally, was dismissed as absurd, exceeding the state's combined budgets for three years.

The APC warned that these incidents were just the beginning of a broader operation aimed at creating public hostility towards the rally.
