Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The camp of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has accused the Bola Tinubu campaign of misleading the public.<\/p>\n

Phrank Shaibu, Atiku\u2019s special assistant on public communication said the All Progressives Congress, APC, flagbearer and his team were fabricating lies ahead of the February 25 contest.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Saturday, he said the APC was behind the reports that 11 commissioners in Sokoto State as well as the Deputy Governor, Manir Dan\u2019Iya, had defected to their party.<\/p>\n

The aide mocked Tinubu\u2019s campaign spokesperson Festus Keyamo, a Minister, and NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa for posting images found to have been taken way earlier.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the Sokoto rally was poorly attended \u201cdespite the presence of President Muhammadu Buhari whom Tinubu has been begging for assistance\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFestus Keyamo, a senior advocate and former EFCC prosecutor posted a photo of a crowded festival in Chicago and passed it off as the Sokoto rally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaibu added that former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who heads the social media arm of the APC campaign, equally propagated \u201cfake news\u201d.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson referred to the politician\u2019s controversial announcement that Atiku and military generals met secretly in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The Defence Headquarters has denied meeting the ex-Vice President, adding that those spreading misinformation will be invited by law enforcement agencies to prove their postulations.<\/p>\n

Shaibu, however, dismissed the allegation by the Tinubu campaign team that his principal was behind petrol scarcity and naira shortage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtiku left office in 2007, 16 years ago. How could he be behind a government policy when he lacks executive powers?\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n

Shaibu also lampooned APC campaign spokesperson, Dele Alake for declaring that the video wherein Tinubu mentioned \u201cbala blu\u201d, during a town hall in Imo State last November, was doctored.<\/p>\n

The statement commended individuals and organisations for fact-checking Alake\u2019s claim, advising Nigerians not to allow themselves to be \u201cconned by corn lovers\u201d.<\/p>\n
