The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba‑Ahmed, says the party is experiencing a surge of interest from politicians ahead of upcoming elections. In an interview with Arise TV, he described the PRP as a credible political option and confirmed that it is open to new members. “In the last three or four weeks you will be amazed at how many people have reached out to us and said, ‘We’re coming over to your party,’” he said, adding that the party is ready to receive anyone willing to join. “Our doors are open to anybody who wants to come in, either on their own or because the system has blocked and virtually destroyed their party,” he explained.
Baba‑Ahmed noted that the party’s role in the coming months will be far greater than before, reflecting growing confidence in the PRP. “We see our role in the next few months as far, far greater than anything we have done before,” he said. He emphasized that newcomers are motivated by the party’s longstanding values rather than desperation. “They are not just coming as political refugees. They are coming because we are a party of principles,” he asserted.
The PRP chairman highlighted that the party is one of the oldest in the country, about 70 years old, and has always stood on certain principles. While acknowledging that time may pose a challenge in building momentum, he expressed confidence that the party will overcome it. “We know Nigerians are ready for real difference, real change in the way this country is run,” he said.
Baba‑Ahmed also mentioned that the party is already engaging with those interested in joining and has set basic conditions for entry. “They know our doors are open. They know they are welcome. But we ask them to join the party first before we start talking to them,” he concluded.
