Former Governor, Kano State and Vice Presidential Candidate of Nigeria Democratic Party (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, said on Monday that neither the campaign nor the party is planning a protest over the rising insecurity in the country.
In a statement he personally signed, Kwankwaso said since the NDC “is confident of securing a resounding victory in the upcoming elections through peaceful democratic means,” a protest is unnecessary.
Moreover, the former Minister of Defence added that his party does not support “any action that could lead to the breakdown of public order or the destruction of lives and property.”
The full statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a message currently circulating on social media falsely claiming that we are planning a protest over the rising insecurity in the country.
“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.
“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.
“The general public is therefore advised to disregard the false message and ignore those peddling such disinformation.”
