APC Accuses Atiku, ADC Of Plot To Discredit Kaduna Rally by Pakute(op): 5:40pm On Oct 25

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and his African Democratic Congress (ADC) of plotting to discredit its presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna.

The council alleged that the opposition planned to deploy fake news, artificial intelligence-generated content and deepfake videos to undermine the rally, President Bola Tinubu, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani and APC leaders.

This is contained in a statement by Mr Dele Alake, spokesperson of the council, on Saturday, ahead of the campaign flag-off in Kaduna.

“We have uncovered a well-orchestrated, devious plan by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and his party to discredit the APC presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna today (Saturday),” he said.

Alake alleged that the opposition had used misleading narratives and manipulated reports to influence public opinion and portray the APC rally negatively.

He cited the circulation of a photograph showing a security vehicle on routine patrol near an APC campaign billboard in Kaduna metropolis.

According to him, the opposition allegedly misrepresents the photograph as evidence that security personnel are deployed to protect APC billboards.

The APC presidential campaign council spokesman also accused the opposition of circulating a purported letter from the Kaduna state governor to Sen. Abdulaziz Yari, Director-General of the campaign council.

The alleged letter claims that the state government has released N2.3 trillion to host the rally.

“We are still at a loss as to how anyone can imagine and concoct this senseless and utterly baseless lie that defies logic and basic common sense,” he said.

He argued that the amount was inconsistent with the state’s annual budgets, noting that the Kaduna state budgets for 2024, 2025 and 2026 totalled less than N2.3 trillion.

He puts the budgets at N458.271 billion for 2024, N790.439 billion for 2025 and N985.9 billion for 2026.

Alake further alleged that the opposition planned to circulate old, doctored and deepfake videos during the rally to create a false impression of public resentment.

“We hereby use this opportunity to alert the general public about this malicious and ignoble plan,” he added.

He described Atiku and the ADC’s alleged actions as attempts to undermine the APC’s electoral prospects and urged Nigerians to reject what it called disinformation.

He also called on the public to remain vigilant against misleading content circulating online and in the media.

APC lied and used AI to generate fake images of Kaduna rally that witnessed poor turnout, and now they’re playing victim and want to gaslight people?

This is the real video of Tinubu's 2027 campaign flag off in Kaduna, ignore the ai generated pictures they're are shamelessly circulating.

A very big one. It was almost like it was planned. Men, women and children from across Northern and Southern Kaduna boycotted the rally. 90% of the people that graced the rally were shipped in from other states and still, they booed the president and chanted Bamayi. Here is an account by the DailyTrust correspondent that was on ground confirming that the president was booed by the APC supporters.

What really happened in Kaduna yesterday? Hear it directly from the horse’s mouth!

A Daily Trust representative who was on the ground during the event has given his firsthand account of what transpired.

After all the chants of bamayi in Kaduna, APC are still shamelessly denying that show of shame they called rally abi na campaign.

It's now obvious that APC only hope of winning in 2027 is through rigging.

Another name of APC is disaster.

Who else noticed that Peter Obi is not even in the conversation?

His role is to play the spoiler

He will not win, and he will not allow another candidate win.

He's like Brighton and Brentford in the premier League.

Sadly, his supporters are not seeing this and they cry rigging the most.

I just say vote make I tell Una for the up tenth time; Bola is coming back for a second term of 4years come 16th Jan 2027

It's left for you to vote him directly by Voting APC, or vote for him indirectly by NOT voting ADC

APC inaugural rally was a huge success. The crowd was overwhelming. Atiku and his minions have sought to discredit tge outing through silly tweets and tantrums.

When will Atiku do his own rally? The inauguration of his presidential campaign council flopped as nothing went viral from it. The dancing by Governor Adeleke and speech by Kashim Shettima went viral.

Atiku has turnded himself into a reviewer of Tinubu's campaign. It seems Atiku does not have the funds for a campaign.

Tinubu, if you lose, it will be because you want to. Currently, the APC has no potent opposition.
