EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Viral claims that the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was attacked in Kogi State have been faulted by his campaign organisation.

It was claimed in the report that the presidential hopeful was also stoned with sachets of water in Lokoja, the state capital.

Reacting, however in a statement on Thursday, Kwankwaso’s campaign group described the reports as fake.

The group said the presidential candidate was given a warm welcome since his arrival in the state. It warned against the dissemination of reports capable of misleading the people.

The statement handed down to newsmen by the spokesperson of the campaign group, Ladipo Johnson read, “Our attention has been drawn to a number of media reports, which insinuate that the convoy of Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party was attacked in Kogi State.”

It added: “We wish to categorically and unambiguously state that these stories are fake, unfounded and ridiculous.

“Since his arrival in the state, Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has received nothing short of love from the good people of Kogi State.

“On Wednesday, he visited the family of his bosom friend, the former governor of Kogi State, late Prince Abdullahi Audu at their country home. From there, he proceeded to the Lokoja city centre to commission his party’s new state headquarters.

“We wish to state that in and between these two locations, the presidential candidate’s convoy was not at any point pelted on or received unfavourably by the good people of Kogi State.
