By Ayorinde Oluokun

Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the running mate to Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC has denied that members of the party are planning to embark on nationwide protest over rising insecurity in the country.

Kwankwaso made the denial in response to post circulating on social media platforms warning security agencies to keep eyes on members of the NDC over the planned nationwide protest.
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.

But while denying the claim, the former NNPP presidential candidate said NDC will not support any action that could lead to the breakdown of public order or the destruction of lives and property.

He added that the party is committed to peaceful and constructive approaches in addressing national challenges.

The former Kano governor further affirmed that the party believes in the potency of ballot box to address grievances while affirming that the NDC will record resounding victory through peaceful means in the 2027 election.

He said “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.”
