At PRP retreat, Baba-Ahmed charges candidates, Nigerians on change

At the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) retreat held in Abuja, National Chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed addressed party candidates and Nigerians on the need for change in political attitude and orientation to bring about a shift from the incumbent ruling party, ushering prosperity, dignity, and respect for the Nigerian populace. With over 500 candidates contesting various positions, Baba-Ahmed urged them to demonstrate their worthiness of Nigerians' trust and convince them to make the right choice.

He emphasized that the PRP candidates must engage the people, prove to be agents of change, and avoid abusing their trust by exploiting resources and fleeing from them.

Baba-Ahmed highlighted that the party's candidates and those contesting legislative positions are products of a strong tradition that values honesty and the dignity of all citizens, regardless of their background. He acknowledged the challenges ahead, such as competing in hostile environments and facing resistance from incumbents who fear change.

Baba-Ahmed urged candidates to make spaces for citizens by engaging them with respect and sincerity, contrasting their campaign approach with that of corrupt politicians who bribe people with billions of Naira.

He stressed the importance of adopting strategies that do not exacerbate poverty and vulnerability among Nigerians, focusing on winning elections without stolen fortunes. The retreat aimed to find sources of strength and campaigning modes that uplift the people, especially women and the young. Baba-Ahmed expressed unwavering faith that Nigerians are a good people who, with the support of the PRP, can choose wisely in the 2027 elections to rid Nigeria of corrupt leadership and restore peace, dignity, and security.
