The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and other opposition coalition leaders have strongly condemned the reported arrest of young individuals in Borno State for donning T-shirts displaying political messages. Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the PRP, voiced this stance during a meeting with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the ADC presidential candidate and former Vice-President, at his residence on Tuesday.
According to a PRP statement, Baba-Ahmed participated in a delegation of the opposition coalition that met with Atiku and his campaign team. The coalition expressed their disapproval of the arrest of the youths, vowing to address the issue. They cautioned against citizens being treated as "hostages" who could only be released under certain political conditions.
The delegation also deliberated on strengthening the opposition coalition in preparation for the 2027 general elections, agreeing on the necessity to expand its membership and capabilities. The coalition plans to continue discussions with other political party leaders, candidates, and individuals interested in joining their alliance.
