The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has elected Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed as its National Chairman.

Baba-Ahmed, in a statement posted on his verified Facebook page following his emergence, expressed gratitude to party members for the confidence reposed in him.

“Yesterday, my brothers and members of the PRP party elected me as the National Chairman of the party. I am grateful for the trust and confidence they have placed in me,” he said.

He called on Nigerians, particularly those he described as “good people” seeking solutions to the country’s challenges, to join the party.

“Our PRP party is inviting good people those who fear God and are seeking solutions to the situation our country is in to join PRP. Our country is in a very bad condition, especially in the North,” he added.

The new chairman criticised leaders of major political parties, accusing them of prioritising power over the welfare of citizens.

“Our current leaders and their associates in the two or three major parties are not seeking solutions for the common people. What they want is power so they can continue to ruin our lives,” he said.

He further alleged that the political elite share similar motives, saying, “They are all the same, same origin, same behavior, same intentions. All they want is power.”

Baba-Ahmed urged Nigerians to support the PRP, insisting that the country’s problems are solvable.

“We are asking for your trust and support. Nigeria can be fixed, God willing, but only if we reject the oppressors,” he said.

He also appealed to citizens committed to justice and accountability to join the party’s efforts.

“We invite God-fearing and responsible people who care about protecting the rights of the common people to join PRP so we can work together,” he said.

The PRP chairman said Nigeria’s challenges persist because of deliberate actions by political actors.

“People must first understand the traps set for us by politicians. Instead of seeking solutions, they divide us and set us against each other, while they sit comfortably enjoying our wealth,” he stated. Reaffirming the party’s stance, Baba-Ahmed said PRP members are driven by sincerity rather than personal gain.

“We in PRP are sincere. If we were only after positions or wealth, we would have already joined APC, ADC or PDP,” he said.

He expressed optimism that Nigeria can be transformed with public support.

“Trust us. God knows our intentions, and by His will, we will change Nigeria,” he said. (Daily Trust)
