PRP's Baba-Ahmed Predicts APC Rejection in 2027 Elections

Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), has predicted that voters in Northern Nigeria could reject the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections due to increasing insecurity, poverty, and economic hardship. During a televised interview, Baba-Ahmed cautioned President Bola Tinubu against compromising the credibility of the upcoming elections, warning that any manipulation could lead to a serious political crisis.

He noted widespread anger and dissatisfaction among residents in the region, particularly regarding agriculture, personal security, and the ability to earn a decent living. Baba-Ahmed claimed that persistent insecurity has disrupted farming, leaving many farmers vulnerable to bandits.

He dismissed the notion that financial inducements during campaigns would guarantee votes for the ruling party, recalling how ordinary citizens supported former President Muhammadu Buhari. He emphasized that economic hardship and insecurity would significantly influence voter decisions in 2027, urging the government to ensure transparent and credible elections.
