The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has denied allegations of a plot to assassinate former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The council dismissed the allegation as unfounded, insisting that there was no plan to harm the former vice president as political activities intensify ahead of the presidential election.
The denial comes amid heightened political exchanges between the ruling APC and opposition figures over preparations for the 2027 elections.
Atiku, who is associated with the African Democratic Congress, has remained a prominent opposition figure in discussions surrounding the next presidential contest.
The APC campaign council maintained that political disagreements should be addressed through democratic engagement rather than allegations that could heighten tensions in the country.
The development has drawn attention to the importance of responsible political communication as parties prepare for the forthcoming elections.
Political parties and their supporters are expected to engage in campaigns that focus on policies, governance records and proposals for addressing the challenges facing Nigerians.
Concerns about threats against political figures also highlight the responsibility of security agencies to investigate credible allegations and provide protection where necessary.
However, the council’s denial does not, by itself, establish whether any threat was made. Any specific allegation of an assassination plot would require supporting evidence and appropriate investigation.
As preparations for the 2027 elections continue, the handling of security-related claims and political disagreements is likely to remain an important issue for political parties, security agencies and the electorate.
