The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) said Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso did not join the party because they could not get guarantees about a presidential ticket.
PRP chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, said this on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, explaining that the former presidential candidates were also concerned about the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s delay in recognising the PRP national executive.
“Well, they had issues about whether the party can guarantee that they emerge as presidential and vice presidential candidates. They had questions about whether we could guarantee that a huge number of places could be made available to them because they are coming in with a movement into our party,” he said on the current affairs show.
“They also had issues with the fact that INEC deliberately refused to upload our new executive, me and my colleagues, for a long time. I think they were right there that it represented some worry that we had a problem with INEC. So they moved on.”
