ABUJA - In a shocking revelation, Abuja Network News has exposed a plan by the Labour Party to unleash a torrent of fake news in the wake of the highly anticipated judgement by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
According to an insider who spoke exclusively to our reporter, an astounding budget of 2.5 billion Naira has been allocated to fuel the Labour Party's online propaganda machinery. This staggering sum is separate from the monthly expenditure of over 100 million Naira already designated for the party's social media influencers, bloggers, and paid journalists, who form a significant part of their propaganda apparatus.
The Labour Party Nigeria, along with its controversial "Obidient" movement, has repeatedly faced accusations of resorting to fake news to incite unrest whenever their desired outcomes are not achieved.
Furthermore, in recent times, prominent senior citizens, stakeholders, and legal luminaries have leveled allegations against the party, claiming that their actions are aimed at intimidating the judiciary. These claims stem from the widely criticized "all eyes on the judiciary" campaign that has sparked controversy throughout the nation.
These revelations have raised concerns about the ethical practices of political parties and their manipulation of public opinion. As the nation eagerly awaits the decision of the PEPT, it remains critical for citizens to be vigilant and discerning when consuming news, especially in the digital sphere where disinformation can easily proliferate.
As the Labour Party's plans come to light, the question now arises: will the judiciary be able to withstand the onslaught of fake news and stand firm in the face of attempts to undermine its independence? The answer lies in the upcoming judgement, which will undoubtedly shape the future of our democracy.
