Independent sources has discovered how the leading opposition party in Nigeria used Arise TV and Vanguard Newspapers to funnel a whooping N352 million Naira each to top 5 media houses in Nigeria in oder to spread fake news in the tail end of the campaign for the 2023 general elections.
According to reports Arise TV CEO Mr Nduka Obaigbena a chieftain of the PDP was the architect of the plan after some careful study of the available data in their possession which the sources said were not favorable to the PDP.
The investigation shows that analytics available to the PDP shows a clear cut defeat from the APC as such the party most step up it's media campaign of misinformation and disinformation in oder to tarnish the character of the Presidential candidate of the APC most especially in the Northern part of the country where He was projected to score higher votes.
The plan is to create some fracas between the candidate of the APC and the Presidency by twisting his comments and also through the use of misleading headlines. Then use every means possible to paint Tinubu as fake Muslim who is using a religious card to deceive the voters when in reality He is not a practising Muslim.
They also planned to portray the candidate as an ethnic bigot that will not be fair to the North as a President. Plans are also made make Tinubu appear as anti North and to sell the narrative that as a President he will stop the ongoing oil dredging in the North.
Abuja Network News learned that the above narration will be the mainstream media campaign by the PDP in the final days of the campaign in a desperate move to scuttle the chances of Tinubu in the North.
Apparently the Naira and fuel scarcity orchestrated by the PDP in conjunction with some forces within the APC has backfired mainly due to the doggedness of the APC Governors who has exposed the plans. From all indication Tinubu will most likely benefits from sympathy votes from many undecided voters who now see him as a victim of sabotage and backstabbing from people he did everything possible to bring to power.
The initial plan was to pitch the people against the APC and provoke a reaction but from all indication the plan has failed. So the PDP opted for yet another campaign of calumny to achieve the said objective.
