National Chairman of Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has explained why former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the leader of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, were unable to join PRP ahead of the 2027 general election.

Speaking during a Hausa political programme on DITV Kaduna, Baba-Ahmed said discussions between PRP and the two politicians broke down after disagreements over conditions for joining the party.

According to him, Obi and Kwankwaso initially approached the PRP for possible collaboration, and negotiations progressed to the point where a committee was proposed to continue talks.
