ADC Slams APC Over Deepfake Allegation, Demands Evidence
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has been called out by the Alliance for New Nigeria (ADC) for making unfounded allegations against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The ADC challenged the APC to substantiate its claim that Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, had planned to use deepfake videos to discredit the APC's Kaduna rally.
According to the statement released by the ADC, "The party is demanding that the APC provides concrete evidence to back up its claim before engaging in any further discussion on the matter."
The ADC also emphasized that "making baseless accusations against political opponents is not only unethical but also counterproductive to the progress of the nation."
The deepfake videos controversy emerged after the APC accused Atiku of planning to use the fake videos to discredit the party's Kaduna rally, scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 16th.
The ADC, which is a political party in Nigeria, urged the APC to focus on addressing the nation's pressing issues instead of making baseless allegations against its rivals.
The statement further stated that "political parties must prioritize transparency, decency, and unity to ensure the progress of Nigeria."
The ADC has also called on the relevant authorities to investigate the deepfake videos allegations and hold those responsible accountable.
The party concluded by stating that "political parties must work together to combat the menace of deepfakes and other digital propaganda, which can have severe consequences for democracy and the nation's stability."
The ADC's statement comes amidst the ongoing election campaign in Nigeria, where other parties are also engaging in intense political rivalry and accusations.
