The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused opposition figures of spreading false information about President Bola Tinubu's administration. In a statement issued on Saturday in Sokoto, Malam Yusuf Abubakar Dingyadi, the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the APC National Chairman, claimed that individuals and groups from opposition parties are using social media to distort the government's achievements. He attributed these actions to personal and political motives rather than national interest. Dingyadi criticised the use of baseless claims, propaganda, and vulgar language, particularly in northern Nigeria, saying they were designed to undermine the government. He urged Nigerians to recognise progress in security, infrastructure, and sectoral reforms under Tinubu's leadership. According to Dingyadi, the APC's National Working Committee, led by Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, remains committed to advancing economic reforms and improving agriculture, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social welfare. The party called on the public to be wary of misleading narratives spread by opposition actors seeking political gain. Dingyadi insisted that the administration would continue implementing policies aimed at improving the living standards of Nigerians.
The APC accuses others of spreading falsehoods while offering only vague claims of progress without verifiable data or timelines. If improvements in security, infrastructure and social sectors are real, naming specific projects or outcomes would counter the misinformation charge more effectively. So far, the party's defence relies on assertion, not evidence accessible to Nigerians experiencing daily hardships. This gap between assertion and proof fuels the very distrust the APC claims to oppose.
