Kwankwaso Denies Protest Plans

The 2027 Vice-Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has debunked reports that he plans to stage a protest over the current security challenges in Nigeria.

Naija News reports that Kwankwaso, in a statement on Monday, said he does not support any action that could lead to the breakdown of public order or the destruction of lives and property.

The former Governor of Kano State added that he believes the ballot box remains the most legitimate and effective way to express grievances and seek change, adding that the NDC is confident of securing a resounding victory in the upcoming 2027 elections through peaceful democratic means.

He therefore urged the public to disregard reports of any planned protest involving him.

He wrote, “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.”
