APC PCC Accuses Atiku and ADC of Plotting Deepfake Disinformation Against Kaduna Rally

The APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has publicly accused former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar and the Alliance for Democracy and Congress (ADC) of planning to undermine the party’s upcoming rally in Kaduna. According to the council’s statement, the opposition group is allegedly developing deepfake videos and fabricated documents designed to tarnish the APC’s image and sow confusion among voters. The council’s claim comes amid a tense political climate as the Kaduna rally is scheduled to be a key event in the party’s campaign calendar. While the council has not outlined specific legal or investigative steps, it has called for vigilance against misinformation tactics that could affect the rally’s reception and the broader electoral process. The allegation underscores the growing use of digital manipulation in Nigerian politics and signals a potential escalation in campaign‑era confrontations.
