The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) National Chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has maintained that the Vice-Presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, did not purchase any nomination form from the party.
Baba-Ahmed was said to have made the clarification on Tuesday in an interview on ARISE Television’s Morning Show, reacting on the allegation that Kwankwaso purchased 69 nomination forms to take over the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
But Baba-Ahmed said it would be impossible for Kwankwaso to have purchased 69 forms from the PRP in Kano, stressing that the former governor has no official link with the party.
The National Chairman said the man claiming that Kwankwaso bought the PRP nomination forms is not a member of the party.
“This is total fiction, and I am grateful for the chance to clear this up,” he said. The real Kano state chairman of the PRP had issued a statement that this is just a complete lie.
“Kwankwaso could not have bought 69 forms from the PRP in Kano. “We don’t sell forms in Kano. We sell Abuja forms.
The party does not know the man who said that 69 forms were sold to Kwankwaso. He is not holding any position, has no authority to sell nomination forms on behalf of the party and we do not recognize him.
“This whole thing might have been cooked up as part of some problems or some politics in Kano. For the PRP, we sold forms to all the others from Abuja.
“We sold forms to candidates from Kano. They signed up, they ran, they had primaries over a month ago.”
