ADC Presidential Candidate Jemilu Keyamo has accused Atiku Abubakar of being "jittery" over the possibility of losing Northern votes to President Tinubu. Keyamo claims that Atiku has been using tactics such as tearing down APC posters and disseminating disinformation to create the impression that President Tinubu is not popular in the North.

He also alleges that Atiku is hoping to gain a majority of Northern votes in the 2027 presidential election. The ADC Presidential Campaign Council has responded to these allegations, accusing the APC of using fake news to divert attention from the economic hardships faced by Nigerians under President Tinubu's administration. The council's Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, described the allegations as an empty political stunt, arguing that Nigerians are struggling with high prices of petrol, food inflation, and growing poverty.
