Kwankwaso Addresses False Protest Claims Amid Insecurity

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the current vice president of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and former governor of Kano State, issued a press statement on Monday addressing the public regarding recent viral social media messages that falsely claimed he was organizing protests in Nigeria. He urged the public to disregard these messages, clarifying that he does not endorse mass actions that could disrupt public peace and potentially lead to a breakdown of law and order, resulting in destruction of lives and property.

This clarification comes in the context of increasing security concerns in Nigeria, highlighted by a recent incident where 46 primary and secondary school pupils and a teacher were abducted in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State. Kwankwaso's statement reflects the growing anxiety over security challenges in the country.
