PRESS STATEMENT

UNMASKING PDP’S ORCHESTRATED PLOT TO UNLEASH FAKE NEWS AND DISINFORMATION DAYS TO ELECTION

We want to alert Nigerians to the sinister moves and orchestrated plans of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to unleash a wave of fake news especially

2)
in Hausa language to malign,defame& delegitimise Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC before Nigerians.

This scurrilous campaign by the PDP has already been perfected with a dedicated team working day & night from the PDP national headquarters at Wadata House, Abuja.

3)
The party has also recruited many social media actors to carry out the campaign of calumny by proxy.

We uncovered this evil plot targeted to manipulate Nigerians and most especially Northerners to see Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in bad light as the only way for its failing

4)
presidential campaign to have a chance at the February 25 presidential election.

We consider it necessary at this point to advert the mind of Nigerians to this evil plan capable of causing disharmony, ill-will and needless crisis with attendant security implications in the

5)
country.

PDP and their hired social media influencers have already started pushing their nefarious contents by spoofing and using parody social media accounts of popular newspapers and blogs to disseminate fake news with the sole aim of hoodwinking gullible Nigerians.

6)
Many parody social media accounts such as ‘Vanguard Hausa', 'DailyTrust Hausa' have been created and also being used to circulate fake news on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp and other digital platforms.
On Facebook,we found that Daily Trust Hausa was first created

7)
as K.R.K Media on 9 August 2021. It changed its name to Daily Trust Media on 7 December 2022 and has a fake website address daily.com.

A second Daily Trust Hausa Facebook account was created 13 August 2022 as Facos News Hausa, with the objective of publishing

8).
posts on Musicians. It changed its name on 29 December 2022, just 22 days after its other clone.
Vanguard Hausa was created 21 December 2021. Its website failed to open. All these parody Facebook accounts were used by the PDP on Saturday to publish malicious fake news that

9)
that trucks carrying old Naira notes,
belonging to Tinubu were arrested in Lagos.

For clarification,Daily Trust does publish a Hausa paper called Aminiya, which is also on Facebook with the same name. We are not aware that Vanguard has a similar publication.
We implore the

10)
two newspapers, Daily Trust & Vanguard to inform Facebook & Meta that they have been cloned by fake news merchants, for political offensives, masterminded by PDP.

Part of the PDP's evil machinations will be to make false claims & allegations against President Muhammadu

11)
Buhari, Asiwaju Tinubu,his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima & other APC National, Regional, Zonal & State leaders in manipulated videos, doctored voice overs, photoshop images & other means all in a bid to win election by hook or crook. PDP& its Presidential candidate,

12)
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar know they can't win this coming election. They also know Nigerians will never vote for PDP to take over the leadership of 🇳🇬 after inflicting 16 years of misery on Nigerians.
The legacies the party left behind were insecurity, badly managed economy

13)
economy,looted treasury,derelict national infrastructure in roads,power, ports, rail, pipelines among many others. The Buhari administration is still struggling to unmake the massive damage done to our country by the party.
Because Atiku’s Presidential Campaign is heading

14)
to a crash, PDP futilely hopes to avoid the impending electoral defeat by sponsoring a coordinated fake news assault on APC, our presidential candidate and even against the government.
We use this medium to urge Nigerians and most especially our compatriots in Northern 🇳🇬

15)
not to allow themselves to be deceived.
Atiku and PDP have nothing good to offer Nigerians other than his rabid ambition to enrich himself, family members and cronies as revealed in audio and video leaks by Atiku’s former Media Aide, Mike Achimugu.

The APC administration

16)
The APC administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is working very hard to solve many of Nigeria's decades-long problems across sectors and it is only another APC administration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima that can continue, sustain and improve on the

17)
improve on the trajectory of good governance that began from 2015.
