The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has dismissed allegations that the former governor of Kano State and current vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, purchased dozens of its nomination forms to hijack its structure.
Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, the National Chairman of the PRP, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, clarified that the party operates a centralized system where all nomination forms are strictly managed and distributed from its national headquarters.
“We do not sell nomination forms in Kano; all forms are sold from Abuja,” Baba-Ahmed said during the broadcast.
“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 recognize him.”
Recall that the Chairman of the PRP Northwest Stakeholders Forum, Abdulkadir Musa Guza, recently alleged that Kwankwaso had purchased all 69 nomination forms available for elective positions in the state.
Guza accused the former governor of executing a calculated plot to sponsor his own loyalists and take control of the political platform ahead of the upcoming elections.
Responding to these claims, Baba-Ahmed reiterated that the individual behind the allegations has no legitimacy to act or speak on behalf of the party.
Baba-Ahmed revealed that he phoned Kwankwaso and the former governor was as shocked as he is on the allegation.
