The NNPP governorship candidate, Engr Abba K. Yusuf, his deputy, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, and the three senatorial candidates of the party in Kano state accompanied Kwankwaso.
While addressing the talks on the Kano state police command directive that all political rallies should be halted due to imminent violence, the NNPP spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, in a statement, said:
“We have thwarted the APC scheme to deny our members, supporters and stakeholders their fundamental freedom of political association as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“We welcome the development from the joint security operation of the army, police and civil defence personnel who have arrested over 300 political thugs assigned to orchestrate attack on the motorcade of our presidential candidate.”
Reacting to Bature comment, the deputy spokesperson of the APC campaign council, Garba Yusuf Abubakar, said:
“We are not involved because we had withdrawn our campaign based on the advice by the police to all political parties."
