Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), emphasized the need for Nigeria to transcend regional politics in leadership selection during an interview in Abuja. He argued that the country's pressing issues, such as poverty, insecurity, and unemployment, require leaders chosen for their competence and integrity rather than their ethnic backgrounds. Baba-Ahmed highlighted the PRP's decision to reject zoning in its presidential primaries, which resulted in the selection of Donald Duke, a former governor from Cross River, as the party's candidate for the 2027 elections. He expressed confidence that Duke's candidacy would appeal to Nigerians across various divides, fostering unity and a collective commitment to addressing the nation's challenges.
