The Adulmajid Yakubu Daudu-led faction of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) yesterday announced an alliance with the Omoyele Sowore’s African Action Congress (AAC) ahead of 2023 general elections.
Daudu who was initially the interim national chairman of the party announced the breakaway in a briefing with journalists in Abuja.
He said the party had been taken over by the “reactionary leaders.”
He added the move was in the interest of Nigerians and a beginning of the process to mobilise the masses towards their political emancipation come 2023 general elections.
According to him, the alliance with the ACC was necessary to join forces to give Nigerians an option ahead of the elections and to wrestle power from “reactionary leaders” whom he said have held Nigerians in hostage of poverty for the past 62 years of independence.
Daudu called on Nigerians to unite behind their struggles to secure their rights to a better Nigeria and liberation from political slavery.
“I don’t need to tell you the hell we’re catching, this is a time and this is an option, now that we have the ballot, for the Nigerian masses, I call on all Nigerian masses to unite behind our struggles,” he said.
Receiving the party in Abuja, the presidential candidate of AAC, Omoyele Sowore said the alliance was a revolutionary coalition that will liberate Nigerians from their suffering.
He said, “I welcome all of you, this is a new revolutionary reality for Nigeria and Nigerians and we intend not just to tell, we’ll make it a duty to shut down the system of injustice and oppression in this country” through electio
