Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has accused the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to manipulate the voters’ register with artificial intelligence-generated photographs, false names and fictitious identities.
Atiku made the allegation in a message issued on Friday, 6 November 2026, as he rejected attempts to weaken opposition parties through political pressure and court actions.
He also declared that he would remain in the presidential race, insisting that no court ruling would force him to abandon his campaign.
Atiku raises alarm over voters’ register
The former vice-president accused the ruling party of using several methods to make genuine political competition difficult. He listed political pressure, manufactured narratives, court manoeuvres and alleged interference with the voters’ register.
He said the party had boasted of having 32 governors and claimed to have attracted politicians from other parties through financial inducements, pressure or coercion.
Atiku questioned why a party with such political strength would fear a free and fair election.
He accused those in power of trying to weaken opposition parties and create conditions for a one-party state.
