The council, reacting through its spokesman, Dele Alake denied that there is a plot to assassinate the former Vice President who is also the Presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2027 elections.

Stating that any credible threat to life must be taken seriously regardless of political affiliation, the council challenged Frank to present any evidence backing his allegation of an assassination plot.
According to the campaign council, the former Vice President remains fully protected by both the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS).
