2027: Again, PRP clears air on selling nomination forms to Kwankwaso

The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has clarified that the party did not sell any nomination forms to the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabi’u Kwankwaso.

Baba-Ahmed made this clarification on Tuesday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

He was reacting to the allegation that Kwankwaso bought 69 nomination forms to take control of the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

The National Chairman echoed PRP secretary, Alhaji Musa Maigari, who described the allegation as false, insisting that Kwankwaso neither purchased nomination forms nor has any official connection with the party.

According to him: “This is complete fiction, and I am grateful for the opportunity to clarify this. The real state chairman of the PRP in Kano had released a statement saying this is just a complete lie.

“There’s no way Kwankwaso could have bought 69 forms from the PRP in Kano. We don’t sell forms in Kano. We sell forms from Abuja.

“The man who claimed that 69 forms were sold to Kwankwaso is not known to the party. He holds no position, has no authority to sell nomination forms on behalf of the party, and we do not recognise him.

“It is possible that this entire thing has been contrived as part of some problems or some politics in Kano. As far as the PRP is concerned, we sold forms to everybody else from Abuja.

“We sold forms to candidates from Kano. They registered, they contested, they went through primaries more than a month ago.”
