THE Vice Presidential Candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has denied claims circulating on social media that he and his associates are planning a protest over the country’s security challenges.
Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State, made the clarification in a statement on Tuesday, describing the message as false and misleading.
He said neither he nor the NDC was involved in any plan to organise a protest and urged members of the public to disregard the information.
According to him, the party does not support actions capable of causing a breakdown of law and order or leading to the destruction of lives and property.
“We do not support any action that could lead to the breakdown of public order or the destruction of lives and property.
“As responsible leaders, we remain committed to peaceful and constructive approaches in addressing national challenges,” he said.
The former governor reiterated the party’s commitment to democratic principles, stressing that elections remained the most legitimate avenue for citizens to express grievances and seek change.
“As committed democrats, we firmly believe that the ballot box remains the most legitimate and effective way to express grievances and seek change.
“Our party, the NDC, is confident of securing a resounding victory in the upcoming elections through peaceful democratic means,” he said.
Kwankwaso advised the public to ignore the purported protest message and those behind its circulation, describing it as disinformation aimed at misleading Nigerians.
He reaffirmed the party’s commitment to pursuing its political objectives through lawful and democratic processes.
