The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) has raised the alarm over what it described as a coordinated plot by former Vice President and African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his party to sabotage President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna on Saturday.
