The National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said many politicians are showing interest in joining the party ahead of future elections.
He made this known during an interview on Arise TV, where he described the PRP as a viable political option and said its doors are 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.
According to him, 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 said.
Baba-Ahmed added that the party’s role in the coming months would be much bigger than before.
He noted that the growing interest shows 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 explained that those coming into the party are not doing so out of desperation but because of its long-standing values.
“They are not just coming as political refugees. They are coming because we are a party of principles,” he said.
The PRP chairman described the party as one of the oldest in the country.
“We are about 70 years old. We have always stood on certain principles,” he added.
While acknowledging that time may be a challenge in building momentum, Baba-Ahmed expressed confidence that the party would overcome it.
“We know Nigerians are ready for real difference, real change in the way this country is run,” he said.
Baba-Ahmed further noted 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 said.
