2027: Why we chose Donald Duke as our presidential candidate – PRP

The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, has explained why it chose former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.

In an interview on Trust TV on Wednesday, National Chairman of the party, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said Duke is the only one that represents a major break between the past and the future.

Baba-Ahmed said, “Donald Duke is an excellent candidate, for all the presidential candidates.

“He came to the party like other people. He was attracted by our principles, our ideology, because he came on his own and asked if he can buy a form, and we sold it to him.

“He met all the criteria to contest against others. There were three of them who indicated interest for the ticket. All of them are from the Southern part of the country.

“Interestingly, not a single one came from the North. If a Northerner had come and asked to buy our forms to contest and he wins, he would fly our flag.

“In the PRP, we don’t have this very damaging division between North and South, saying this time it is only Northerners that can contest, this time it’s that Southerners that can contest.”
