Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has refuted online reports claiming he intends to organize a protest regarding the country’s deteriorating security situation.
In a statement released on his official page, Kwankwaso clarified that the viral message is entirely false and does not represent his views or those of the NDC. He emphasized that he does not endorse any activity that might disrupt public order or result in harm to individuals or property.
“We oppose any measures that could cause a collapse of public peace or damage to lives and assets. As responsible leaders, we are dedicated to peaceful and constructive methods for tackling national problems,” the statement read.
The former governor also reiterated his faith in democratic processes, stressing that elections are the appropriate channel for expressing discontent and pursuing political transformation. “We firmly hold that the ballot box is the most credible and effective mechanism for airing grievances and achieving change. Our party, the NDC, is assured of a decisive win in the forthcoming elections through peaceful democratic means,” he added.
Kwankwaso urged the public to ignore the misleading message and to distance themselves from those spreading falsehoods. He called on citizens to remain calm and focused on lawful avenues for resolving national issues.
