Ahmad Muhammad, Kano.
The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, has denied allegations that it sold 69 nomination forms to former Kano Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to “hijack” the party, saying all positions have been filled and Kwankwaso is not even a member.
Abdulkadir Guza had alleged that Kwankwaso procured 69 PRP nomination forms to take over the party’s structure ahead of 2027.
In an interview with Journalists on Monday, PRP Secretary Alhaji Musa Maigari said, “As it stands, all positions in PRP have been filled. Primary elections are over, and every political party has concluded its primaries.”
He further stated that the person behind the allegation has no link to PRP.
“The man who raised these allegations is not even our member. It is laughable at this time when primaries are over, someone is talking about primaries or nomination forms”, he added.
The secretary insisted there is no record of any form transaction with Kwankwaso or his representatives at the party secretariat.
As of press time, Kwankwaso’s camp had not issued an official response to Guza’s allegation.
Maigatari noted that the claim appears ill-timed, coming after PRP concluded its primary elections for the next election cycle.
He urged members of the public to disregard “baseless rumors” and rely only on information from the party’s official channels.
