Party Chieftain Threatens Legal Action Against Kwankwaso Over Alleged Purchase of PRP Nomination Forms

A fresh political controversy has emerged following allegations that former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso purchased multiple nomination forms belonging to the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).

The allegation was made by a party chieftain, who reportedly threatened legal action against Kwankwaso over claims that the former presidential candidate acquired dozens of nomination forms as part of an alleged attempt to influence the party’s internal structure ahead of future elections.

However, the PRP leadership has publicly rejected the allegations, describing them as unfounded and without evidence. According to party officials, Kwankwaso is not a member of the PRP, and there is no record of any transaction involving the purchase of nomination forms by him or his representatives.

The party’s national secretary dismissed the claims and emphasized that the nomination process had already been concluded, making the allegations difficult to substantiate. He also questioned the credibility of those making the accusations and urged the public to rely on official party communications.

The controversy comes amid ongoing political realignments and heightened activity ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Kwankwaso remaining a prominent figure in discussions surrounding opposition politics in Nigeria.

As of the latest reports, neither Kwankwaso nor his media team has issued an official response to the specific allegation.

Political observers say the dispute highlights the increasing tensions within opposition circles as parties position themselves for future electoral contests. Whether the threatened lawsuit will proceed remains unclear, but the claims have already sparked debate among party members and supporters.

For now, the PRP maintains that no nomination forms were sold to Kwankwaso and has urged the public to disregard what it describes as baseless rumours.
