Former Kano State Governor and National Democratic Coalition Vice Presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has denied claims circulating on social media alleging plans for a protest over rising insecurity in the country.

In a statement released on Monday, Kwankwaso said the message being circulated was false and did not reflect the position of him or his political party, warning the public against spreading what he described as disinformation.

“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,” he said.

Kwankwaso stressed that neither he nor his party supports any action that could lead to the breakdown of public order or destruction of lives and property.
