  "summary": "The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to provide evidence for its allegation that Atiku Abubakar and the opposition party planned to use deepfake videos and fabricated documents to discredit the APC presidential campaign rally in Kaduna. ADC's Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, dismissed the APC's accusations as a desperate attempt to divert attention from the APC's record in government and criticised President Bola Tinubu's economic policies, arguing that rising living costs and declining purchasing power, rather than alleged opposition propaganda, were responsible for Nigerians' dissatisfaction with the ruling party.",
