The chairman of Nigeria’s Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, says his party is in the 2027 presidential race "to win and not to make numbers", Daily Post reports. He was speaking at a strategic retreat bringing together party leaders and candidates, whom he urged to convince Nigerians to vote PRP.
He presented Donald Duke as the best presidential candidate and his running mate, Malam Sule Mohammed, as a man of loyalty and humility. He also praised the party’s candidates for governor. According to him, the PRP will face hostile environments where incumbents fear change, and politicians who buy voters.
Donald Duke, for his part, accused the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), of enjoying an excessive advantage in campaign visibility. According to him, opposition parties are struggling to obtain venues and advertising space ahead of the vote, which makes it harder to reach voters.
These statements come the day after the announcement that Donald Duke is ready to step down in favour of a single opposition candidate, on 10 November.
