A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has accused opposition elements of orchestrating a misinformation campaign aimed at destabilising the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a post on X, on Tuesday, the former minister claimed that the spread of false narratives is being deployed to create panic within government circles, fuel internal divisions, and erode confidence in the party’s electoral strength.
He pointed to what he described as baseless claims suggesting that the Governor of Nasarawa State is working for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, insisting that such reports are part of a broader attempt to sow distrust within the APC.
“It is clear that the strategy of the opposition is to spread fake news, knock our heads together, create dissension in our ranks and plant doubts in our minds about our ability to win,” he said.
Fani-Kayode warned that political activities ahead of 2027 are already intensifying, urging party members and supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remain united and alert.
He stressed the importance of strengthening internal cohesion within the party, noting that members must prepare for what he described as a decisive political contest.

Fani-Kayode’s statement reads: “It is clear that the strategy of the opposition is to spread fake news in the media in order to create tension and panic in the ranks of the Government and the ruling party, knock our heads together, create dissection in our ranks and plant doubts in our minds about our ability to win.
“Every day they come up with something new like the fake news about the Governor of Nassarawa state working for Atiku. Tomorrow it will be someone else.
