PRP chairman denies selling nomination forms to Kwankwaso for 2027 election bid

Peoples Redemption Party National Chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed clarified on Arise Television's Morning Show Tuesday that PRP did not sell any nomination forms to NDC vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso, countering allegations he bought 69 forms to seize party control ahead of 2027 elections. Baba-Ahmed stated the claim is 'complete fiction,' noting PRP sells forms exclusively from Abuja—not Kano—and the alleged seller holds no party authority.

He emphasized that actual PRP candidates from Kano had already purchased forms, contested, and completed primaries over a month ago. The denial aligns with earlier statements from PRP secretary Alhaji Musa Maigari, who called the allegation baseless. Baba-Ahmed suggested the rumor may stem from local Kano politics rather than party activity.

This clarification impacts how voters interpret opposition alliance-building efforts for the 2027 elections, as such form-purchase rumors often signal attempts to influence party structures. With primaries concluded in many parties, voters should assess whether similar allegations about other parties reflect genuine electoral strategy or disinformation tactics ahead of next year's polls.
