Nigeria APC denies plot to assassinate Atiku, orders security boost for 2027 candidates

The APC Campaign Council denies allegations of a plot to assassinate former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, stating President Tinubu has directed security agencies to enhance protection for all presidential and other candidates ahead of the 2027 elections. The denial follows unspecified claims, and the actual threat level remains unclear. This is a politically charged denial in Nigeria's pre-election environment, with implications for political stability and security.
