PRP speaks on claims Kwankwaso bought 69 nomination forms

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has dismissed claims that former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, purchased 69 nomination forms as part of an alleged move to take control of the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The party described the allegation as false and misleading.

This followed claims by Abdulkadir Musa Giza, who identified himself as Chairman of the North-West Stakeholders Forum of the PRP.

Giza alleged that Kwankwaso had taken over the party structure.

Speaking with journalists on Monday in Abuja, the National Secretary of the PRP, Alhaji Musa Maigari, denied the allegation and insisted that Kwankwaso has no official connection with the party.

According to Maigari, all positions within the party had already been filled and the party’s primary elections concluded.

“As it stands, all positions in PRP have been filled. Primary elections are over, and every political party has concluded its primaries,” he said.

Maigari also questioned the credibility of the source of the allegation, noting that the individual behind the claim was not a member of the party.

“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 stated.

He further maintained that the alleged North-West Stakeholders Forum is not recognised by the party and that there is no record showing Kwankwaso or any of his representatives purchased nomination forms.

According to him, the timing of the allegation raises questions, considering that the party had already concluded its primary process for the next electoral cycle.
