2027: We're in race to win - PRP Chairman Baba-Ahmed

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has declared the party's unequivocal intention to win the 2027 election, not merely to gather numbers. This stance was articulated during a strategic retreat for the party's leadership and candidates. Baba-Ahmed urged his candidates to engage with Nigerians, convincing them of PRP's worthiness of their trust and votes in the upcoming election.

The PRP has identified Donald Duke as its presidential candidate, lauding him for possessing the qualities necessary to steer Nigeria from its current challenges towards a prosperous, secure, and united future. Duke's running mate, Malam Sule Mohammed, is also commended for his principled loyalty, exceptional personal and professional conduct, and unparalleled humility, which are rare among contemporary leaders.

The PRP further boasts a roster of governorship candidates who are expected to exemplify competent leadership, integrity, and courage, embodying the values of service, sacrifice, and humility.

Baba-Ahmed emphasized that the party is not in the race to accumulate numbers, but rather to win the 2027 election. He acknowledged that the path ahead will be fraught with challenges, as the party will be competing in an environment hostile to change, championed by incumbents. However, PRP is prepared to face opposition from politicians who seek to bribe voters for future gains, contrasting this with the party's appeal for trust and the courage to choose quality and integrity.

Donald Duke, the PRP presidential candidate, criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for enjoying an undue advantage in campaign visibility. Duke highlighted the difficulties faced by opposition parties in securing venues and advertisements as the 2027 elections approach, stating that these challenges make it increasingly difficult for opposition candidates to reach voters across the country.
