Timi Frank Alleges Plot Against Atiku, APC Campaign Council Denies Claim
The APC campaign council says Atiku remains under police and State Security Service protection and urges Timi Frank to back his claims with evidence.
- On Monday, Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress , alleged a plot to assassinate African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, appealing to United States President Donald Trump to intervene.
- Frank's claims emerged amid reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission reopened a corruption case against Atiku, with Frank warning that authorities might use state institutions to intimidate opposition leaders.
- On Tuesday, the APC Presidential Campaign Council dismissed the "grave" allegations, urging security agencies to invite Frank to substantiate his claims; spokesperson Dele Alake maintained Atiku remains under protection of the Nigeria Police Force and State Security Service.
- President Bola Tinubu recently directed security agencies to reinforce protection for all candidates, according to Alake, while Atiku-linked firm Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. intends to bring the matter to the Trump Administration and Congress.
- The assassination plot remains unsubstantiated, underscoring the need for agencies to clarify protection arrangements; the APC campaign council urged all parties to prioritize factual political competition rather than inflammatory accusations.
