“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,” the statement added.
Kwankwaso stressed that the party remains firmly committed to democratic principles, insisting that the ballot box remains the most legitimate avenue for citizens to express grievances and effect change.
“As committed democrats, we firmly believe that the ballot box remains the most legitimate and effective way to express grievances and seek change,” he stated.
He expressed confidence in the Nigeria Democratic Congress, noting that the party is focused on securing victory in the forthcoming elections through peaceful democratic means.
