The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has categorically denied reports suggesting that former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso acquired 69 nomination forms in an attempt to take over the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
It would be recalled that Abdulkadir Musa Giza, who claimed to be the chairman of the PRP North-West Stakeholders Forum, had alleged that Kwankwaso has taken over the party’s structure.
However, during a press briefing on Monday, PRP Secretary Alhaji Musa Maigari dismissed the claim as entirely false, stressing that Kwankwaso never purchased any nomination forms and has no official ties with the party.
Maigari stated: “As it stands, all positions in PRP have been filled. Primary elections are over, and every political party has concluded its primaries.”
He also cast doubt on the accuser’s credibility, noting, “The man making these allegations is not even a member of our party. It is absurd that at a time when primaries are finished, someone is still talking about primaries or nomination forms.”
The party secretary further clarified that the so-called North-West Stakeholders Forum is not recognized by the PRP, and there is no evidence that Kwankwaso or his representatives obtained nomination forms from the party.
He described the timing of the accusation as questionable, since the party has already completed its primary elections for the upcoming electoral cycle.
He urged the public to disregard what he termed baseless rumors and to rely solely on information disseminated through the party’s official channels.
