Engr. Dr. Yakubu Muhammad Kingsly (YMK) has officially picked the presidential nomination form of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) ahead of the 2027 general election, declaring his readiness to contest Nigeria’s highest office.
The nomination form was obtained on Thursday in Abuja at the party’s headquarters.
Speaking after receiving the nomination form, YMK said his desire to ensure that things are done in the right way in Nigeria, and that Nigerians enjoy a better living standard, influenced his decision to contest the race against incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking during the event, the Director-General of the YMK Campaign Organisation, Dr. Aliyu Abdullahi Jibia, described the move as a demonstration of seriousness and commitment to rebuilding the country.
According to Jibia, the choice of the PRP was informed by the party’s ideology and long-standing commitment to the welfare of ordinary Nigerians and the less privileged.
“We have shown the world today that we are the Peoples Redemption Party, and we are going to contest on the platform of the party,” he said.
The National Women Leader of YMK, Dr. Maryam Ringim, called on Nigerian women and party supporters nationwide to intensify grassroots mobilisation and membership registration ahead of the party primaries.
She said women remain critical stakeholders in political mobilisation and urged them to support the party’s candidate towards victory in the 2027 elections.
She assured supporters of the candidate’s commitment to running an inclusive administration that would prioritise women and youth empowerment if elected president.
