A former governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa has asked the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, to use the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) as a platform for actualizing his 2019 presidential ambition.

Alhaji Musa who received Mr. Sowore and members of his #Take Back Nigeria Movement at his private residence in Kaduna on Friday said PRP is ready to offer its platform for a presidential candidate that has the capacity and is fully prepared to take Nigeria out of its present woes and socio-economic challenges.

As such, he said the party is inviting Sowore to contest on its platform as current reality indicates that Nigeria needs a young and vibrant political leader who understands how the socio-economic system of the country works and would be able to match his words with action.

"We are inviting you to the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) and by the time you are declaring, I would lead the declaration, because we believe in socialist reconstruction of Nigeria, and striking with a leading role in the economy to ensure peace, equality, social justice, and restoring the dignity of Nigeria," Alhaji Musa said.

The former governor noted that PRP as an organized political party would be willing to join a coalition of political parties being agitated by Mr. Sowore, ahead of the 2019 general election.

He noted a coalition of political parties would be able to tackle the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also dislodge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from power.

"It depends on circumstance, we have always championed the relevance of political coalition and whenever a political party come out to change Nigeria alone, we advise the political party to form a coalition of relevant political parties on the basis of a minimum program for Nigeria, covering national unity, democracy, and social-economic development.

"And that is the minimum condition we require because PRP in its history has never contested an election without being in a coalition in one way or the other as long as our separate existence remains and there is a better alternative," he added.

He observed that the current Nigeria political system has been dominated by corrupt politicians, with ethnicity, cultural and religion bias, who also steals the people's commonwealth to contest elections at all cost.

He, however, asked Mr. Sowore not to join the ‘bandwagon’ in his journey to the seat of power.

The former governor especially dismissed the coalition being championed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Alhaji Musa said those re-grouping to join Obasanjo’s ‘third force coalition’ have nothing to offer the country.

He described the Obasanjo's third force as a "kangaroo coalition" of political jesters who have once failed the country.

"The people associating themselves with former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his third force kangaroo coalition has nothing to offer and cannot take us further, and seventy percent of them, I have associated with them in one form or another. They have always disappointed us. If we are forced, we shall mention their names," Alhaji Musa said.

In his reply, Mr. Sowore said he and members of his team in the #Take Back Nigeria Movement are already in talks with a coalition of political parties in the quest for a platform.

He explained that his political campaign to become the next Nigeria President would always be devoid of ethnicity and religious bias, noting that Nigeria is one and will continue to be a united country under his as Nigeria’s president.

The pro-democracy activist also used the opportunity to condemn the attitude of past Nigerian leaders who failed to develop the country, despite having the power and enormous resources to do so.

Mr. Sowore, further told his host that he is ready to disrupt the political system as Nigerians are already agitating for a revolutionary change in government to pave way for a young leader who will digitalize the system and take it back from the current analog old thinkers in power.

Sowore

For those mentioning me on this thread You Can't Become Nigeria's President, Without Being A Thief, Musa Tells Sowore

It was an admonishment by the Elder statesman based on how politics was played during their era. It's like telling someone with he can't start business without getting someone to fund it. Of course, youths have been able to break free from such barrier now by innovations and creativity brought about by technology. Same strategy will be adopted for Sowore2019.

E go get Seven thousand votes .
SaiBaba till 2023

His chances seem extremely slim. Especially with Obasanjo's "Third Force" and Fela Durotoye splitting the non APC/PDP votes. Let's see how it plays out. . .though Buhari still seems like the heavy favourite to win.

What do you want me to do now?

It will be better

Jokers

Obasanjo’s third force is a decoy for enabling the third term that he could not get despite bribing lawmakers with Ghana must go bags.
Was it not the same Obasanjo who told us to vote for Yar’Adua, Jonathan and Buhari?
Is he the only wise person among us all- 170 million of us? Haba!!!
The youths have to take over with their PVCs, money and campaign time.

PRP

It amazes me how some Nigerians will still bash guys like Sowore and Fela Durotoye. Isn't it obvious that Nigeria needs a radical change Even if you are directly benefiting from useless and corrupt APC, PDP administrations, are you not thinking about your future generations? How long do we have to spend on this earth?

Dont we want to see a great Nigeria in our own time? I am not saying it is 100% certain Sowore will deliver but we have to keep trying likely solutions until we get it right. At least, it is obvious that when people like that come on board, the kind of excess baggage Buhari came on board with, that is pulling him back, will not be there. Buhari has a good heart but he is moving with the wrong people. He can never achieve anything that way. And he is old and sorry to say, not so intelligent. He just has a good heart. But it's not enough. He has to go.

Sowore is a criminal. He has been collecting money from politicians to write fake stories about their opponents. Hmmmm, Nigerians get mind o, after all the fraud this guy don do he wants to be President. Well buhari has so lowered the standard, any fool now wants to be president

Any youth out there that does not vote Sowore hates his generation and children. I never really liked him but he is FARRRRRR BETTER THAN BUHARI AND FELA DUROTOYE.

Hahaha!!!
Sowore moniker don enter NL
The hustle is real oohh

Africans have a knack for clinging to power for long..
My problem is, when a youth eventually becomes president of Nigeria, he would wamt to remove the Eight year eligibility and would want to hang on as president forever like Mugabe, Gadafi, etc

It would be disastrous if a youth becomes president
Nigerians, be WARNED!!

Buhari will win the moment votes are split. There's no doubt that most of the North will vote Buhari.

You might be wonderful person with good intentions, but all these parties APC/PDP, will never allow ur good dream come to pass.

Nigeria, is doom except God the Almighty intervene.

Good luck.

Already I have made up my mind that I will not vote again,but now I have to reverse my decision. I'm voting sowore this time.

If it would take this man to deliver Nigeria, so be it!

Enough is enough.

u made sense.

at least there's a Nigerian youth on nairaland who can think well. kudos

a lot of people come here to just shout PIGS, AFONJA, BH just to get points, what ever happened to this generation must be remedied because we're becoming a failed generation. I really wonder what we'll tell our children. at least our fathers ruled their time and instead of us to take our stand as the leaders of today we're here playing tribal games which the same old people used to brainwash us

My vote is definitely for you Sowore, New Nigeria in Sight

sowore should join kowa party..


still my fav party for 2019

I don't care about this guy's history and tribe as long as he is young he has the vote of our family and friends.
I am only afraid that the traitors, cowards and slaves will alway do what they know best.
Nigeria does not need a brainless and half dead zombie as her ruler.
Given a chance, this guy will do 100 times better than the thing that is taking Nigeria to the dark times now.
