PRP ready to defeat APC in 2027 elections, Baba-Ahmed declares
The national chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, says the party has emerged stronger, more united and fully prepared for the 2027 general elections after successfully concluding its leadership selection process and party primaries.
Mr Baba-Ahmed stated this in an interview in Kaduna. According to him, the party recently completed a leadership selection exercise in line with its constitution and the country’s laws.
“We have come out clean. We had a few cases where some candidates felt they were unjustly treated, but we activated our internal dispute resolution mechanism and appeals committee to address those concerns,” he said.
The PRP chairman said the party was now stronger than before, united and focused on providing an alternative leadership for Nigeria.
“We are stronger than we were before. We are united, focused and prepared to lead Nigeria. We are prepared to defeat the ruling party and lead Nigeria in a different direction,” he said.
On the party’s preparations for the next general elections, Baba-Ahmed disclosed that the PRP had concluded its primaries nationwide and already had candidates for various elective positions.
The party’s presidential candidate is Donald Duke, a former governor of Cross River.
“We have concluded our primaries. We now have a presidential candidate, Mr Donald Duke. We have a total of 420 candidates we will field across the country for various offices.
“We have about 15 governorship candidates, about 40 senatorial candidates, candidates for the House of Representatives and candidates for the Houses of Assembly. We have a strong and good national spread, and we are the only party that has come out to tell Nigerians who our candidates are,” he said.
Mr Baba-Ahmed also maintained that the party had resolved all internal disputes arising from its nomination processes.
“Yes, we do not have a single internal issue. Those who had grievances were referred to the appeals committee, which has done justice to those grievances. We do not have anybody who is aggrieved as we speak. This is not to say that someone may not choose to raise issues if dissatisfied, but that is their right,” he said.
