The vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has raised alarm that political opponents have resorted to spreading falsehood against him through fake social media accounts they have created in his name.

Baba-Ahmed, at a press conference in Abuja Monday, said though he had lodged complaints about the fake accounts with relevant host platforms, he continued to suffer the consequences of mischievous and evil postings by the impostors.

He said that the fake accounts were designed to set him against legitimate and established religious organisations and portray him negatively in relation to certain sentiments and core values of the Nigerian society.

He, therefore, dissociated himself from the creation, ownership and operation of such social media accounts and urged the public to disregard all exchanges and communication from them.

He also called on social media platform owners to rise to the challenge of preventing further creation and use of fake accounts.
