Kwankwaso Risks Legal Action Over Purchase Of All PRP Forms

The Vice-Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has been threatened with a lawsuit over allegations of purchasing the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP )’s forms for various political offices in Kano.

NEWSNGR reports that the PRP State Chairman, Abdulkadir Musa Guza, made the accusation on Sunday, while speaking at a press briefing at the NUJ Press Centre, Kano.

Guza expressed concern that hundreds of aspirants seeking to contest under the party are now left in confusion, uncertain about their political fate.

He said, “I was in Kaduna as State Chairman of PRP to participate at the party retreat and also obtained forms for my people who were contesting various offices in Kano and who paid for them but I was told that somebody had purchased all the forms.

 “When I pressed hard to know who the person was, the national secretary of our party told me that it was Kwankwaso and I asked why, they said we are in talks with him for his possible defections to our party.

“After days without any sign of Kwankwaso defecting to the PRP, it became apparent that he may have been engaged in a mischievous mission against the party, as one cannot belong to another party while holding another party’s forms.

“We don’t know his missions, that is why we are telling every listening ears the situation.

“That is why we are taking legal actions against him should he refuse to surrender our forms before INEC closes time for submission of contestants’ names to their office.

“It is not only our party that is suffering this negative fate. Other parties are facing the same problems as us.”
