I joined PRP to fix Nigeria, not for presidential ticket — Baba-Ahmed

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) proudly welcomes Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, to our national headquarters in Abuja. His arrival, accompanied by a delegation of loyal stakeholders, marks a significant moment for our party and for the nation.

“

I am a party member. I didn’t come here to get a presidential ticket. I came here to fix Nigeria. I came here to drive out President Tinubu’s government. If my supporting someone is it, then so be it. If me getting the ticket and contesting, so be it.

Contrary to baseless speculation, Senator Baba-Ahmed's motivation for joining the PRP is not a personal quest for the presidential ticket. He has unequivocally stated his commitment to national transformation and to challenging the current administration. His focus is on fixing Nigeria, a mission that resonates deeply with the PRP's core values and long-standing commitment to the people.

“

I wonder how many times in the history of a country it happens that a national chairman is actually welcoming his own brother to his party. But this is Nigeria. This is life for you. We take things as they come.

We acknowledge the unique circumstances of Senator Baba-Ahmed's entry, with his brother serving as PRP National Chairman. This reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of Nigerian politics, where personal connections can sometimes intersect with national aspirations. The PRP believes in the power of leadership to address Nigeria's myriad challenges, and we are encouraged by Senator Baba-Ahmed's dedication to this cause.

“

Leadership is too important to be ignored. I have also said there is no shortage of good, wonderful and qualified people in Nigeria. What happened is that they shied away from politics, largely responsible for the situation we find ourselves in today.

Furthermore, the PRP shares Senator Baba-Ahmed's concerns regarding electoral integrity. We stand united in our resolve to resist any attempts to undermine the democratic process. The lessons of the 2023 general election are stark, and we are committed to ensuring that future elections are free, fair, and transparent. The PRP is poised to contest and win at all levels, and we will not tolerate any manipulation of the people's will.

“

Quite frankly, it is a miracle that PRP has survived the onslaught that has been going on for the last three years. The PRP is getting set to produce the next federal government, state governments, every layer, and the legislature accordingly.
