?The Presidential Campaign Council of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed accusations made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding an alleged disinformation campaign, describing the statement issued by APC spokesperson Dele Alake as a desperate attempt to distract from the administration's economic performance.
?In a response issued by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC Campaign Council, the party challenged the APC to produce concrete evidence including names, dates, and forensic findings to substantiate claims that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or the ADC were involved in fabricating letters or circulating deepfake videos.
The ADC described the allegations as baseless political maneuvers designed to avoid public scrutiny.
?Addressing the broader socioeconomic context, the statement highlighted pressing economic challenges facing citizens, including high fuel prices, rising living costs, and elevated food inflation.
Citing estimates on national poverty levels, the ADC argued that these everyday realities, rather than opposition propaganda, define the public perception of the current administration.
?The opposition party also raised questions regarding the logistics of the APC's Kaduna rally, referencing reports of supporters being transported across state lines to attend campaign events and alleged travel incidents involving supporters traveling from Sokoto and Abuja.
The ADC criticized the practice of long-distance crowd transportation, contending that such optics do not reflect genuine local support.
?Furthermore, the ADC noted that the APC's decision to limit its campaign tour to 12 states suggests a reliance on moving the same group of supporters between venues.
The party concluded by stating that propaganda and media statements cannot alter the economic realities experienced by citizens, expressing confidence that voters will render their verdict at the polls.
