The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Sokoto State chapter, has said that its party is intact, and that its candidates who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), will be replaced.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that with few months to the 2023 general elections, the entire PRP structure under its governorship flag-bearer, Sa’idu Muhammad Gumburawa, reportedly defected to the APC last week.
But addressing newsmen on Sunday in Sokoto, Malam Ibrahim Tudun-Doki, the PRP National Publicity Secretary, said the report was misleading.
“PRP in Sokoto State is intact and the decision taken by the governorship candidate and two others came to our notice when we saw the report in the media.
“This led to our emergency stakeholders meeting today to express our position regarding the governorship candidate’s exit.
“As you are all aware, we are in a democratic system in which everyone has his own right, so we cannot deny anybody of his or her right.
“But our party is intact in Sokoto, all the party leaders with the exception of the Vice Chairman and Sokoto East Senatorial candidate that joined the governorship candidate are with PRP,” Tudun-Doki said.
