Former vice-president Atiku Abubakar condemns attacks involving Omoyele Sowore and supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Both reports say Atiku specifically criticises attacks on Sowore, linked to the African Action Congress (AAC) in Ekiti, and violence or intimidation affecting ADC supporters in Sokoto.
The outlets frame Atiku’s comments in slightly different ways. The Punch (Nigeria) reports that Atiku accuses the ruling APC of intimidating the opposition, and it highlights that his condemnation covers both Sowore and ADC supporters. Daily Post Nigeria similarly says Atiku blasts the Tinubu administration over the attacks, but it emphasises his warning that Nigeria is “drifting to dictatorship.” Together, the stories present Atiku’s public reaction to campaign-period unrest, with one outlet focusing more on APC intimidation and the other foregrounding the broader political warning.
