The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, said allegations that it sold 69 nomination forms to Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, vice presidential candidate and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is false.
Chairman of the party’s Northwest Stakeholders Forum Abdulkadir Musa Guza had on Sunday alleged that Kwankwaso purchased all PRP nominations forms to “hijack” the party and sponsor his loyalists on the party’s platform.
PRP state Secretary Alhaji Musa Maigari however, told newsmen in Kano on Monday that all positions in PRP have been filled and that Primary elections are over,noting that Kwankwaso was not even a party member.
The secretary said the person behind the allegation has no link to PRP and cannot therefore speak on behalf 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,” said Maigari.
The Secretary insisted there is no record of any form of transaction with Kwankwaso or his representatives at the party secretariat.
Maigatari noted that the claim appears ill-timed, coming after PRP concluded its primary elections for the next election cycle.
The party scribe urged members of the public to disregard “baseless rumors” and rely only on information from the party’s official channels.
