The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has vetted and given the green light to three individuals eyeing its presidential ticket.
This comes right before the party’s presidential primaries, which are set to take place on Monday, May 25, as part of its ongoing efforts to gear up for the upcoming general elections.
The list of cleared politicians features the ex-governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke; a well-known economist hailing from Abia State, Dr. Nnaoke Ufere; and a former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress from Edo State, Yakubu Mohammed Kingsley.
This update was made public on Saturday through an official press release shared in Abuja by Muhammed Ishaq, the PRP’s National Publicity Secretary.
According to Ishaq, all three hopefuls have agreed to let the democratic process decide their fates at the upcoming nationwide primary elections.
He said, “The three cleared presidential aspirants of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) have convened and unanimously agreed to submit their aspirations to the will of our party members during the upcoming primaries scheduled for May 25 across all parts of the country.”
The leadership of the party pointed out that the decisions made by these aspirants show how dedicated the PRP is to fostering internal democracy and reaching mutual agreements before the main elections kick off.
“The PRP takes pride in the calibre of its aspirants, whose dedication to democratic principles and commitment to teamwork have further strengthened our party.
“We are committed to conducting credible, transparent, and free primaries, involving over 260 aspirants competing for various elective offices, especially in instances where consensus is not achievable.
“The PRP remains steadfast in its resolve to uphold democratic values and ensure a fair process for all aspirants and party members,” Ishaq added.
