2027: PRP Clarifies It Did Not Sell Nomination Forms to Kwankwaso

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

He made the clarification on Tuesday during a guest appearance on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

The remarks came after allegations that Kwankwaso had purchased 69 nomination forms in an attempt to gain control of the party before the 2027 elections.

Baba‑Ahmed echoed PRP secretary Alhaji Musa Maigari, who also dismissed the claim as false, affirming that Kwankwaso neither bought nomination forms nor holds any official affiliation with the party.

“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.”
