Reactions trail video showing NDC candidate brandishing gun during rally in Kano [VIDEO]

A video of a New Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Warkal, a former Air Force officer, brandishing a weapon during a rally in Kano has sparked reactions across social media. NDC supporters viewed the display as a warning against alleged threats and concerns regarding election rigging. The incident follows a similar threat made by the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, who reportedly vowed to deploy AK-47 rifles against political opponents.

Many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their opinions on the matter. Some have defended Warkal's actions, claiming that all is fair in politics. Others have called for immediate action by the police and DSS, arguing that the NDC candidate is merely copying the tactics of the APC chairman. Some users have even threatened further violence if the opposition does not play fair in the upcoming elections.

The video has also drawn comparisons to a previous incident involving the APC chairman in Edo State, who was reported to have threatened his political opponents with AK-47 rifles. This comparison has led to accusations that the NDC is attempting to emulate the violent tactics of the APC. Many Nigerians are calling for an investigation into the NDC candidate's actions and for the police to take necessary steps to prevent further violence during the election period.
