National chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to prioritise national unity and foster a fair political environment ahead of the 2027 elections.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Monday, Mr Baba-Ahmed expressed concern over rising political tensions and the challenges facing the democratic environment.

While cautioning against political strategies that could deepen ethnic and religious fault lines, he maintained that political competition should focus on policy rather than division.

According to him, any political tactic that relies on selective patronage or demographic distinctions risks alienating portions of the citizenry.

He called for a departure from methods that leveraged pluralistic identities for short-term electoral advantage.

Mr Baba-Hakeem further advised government to concentrate its efforts on addressing critical national challenges, notably community security and the economic which had affected citizens across the country.

He commended the resilience of Nigerians and encouraged citizens from all backgrounds to remain united in advocating for transparent, credible and peaceful elections next year.

“All Nigerians should stand together in our demand for a more transparent commitment to credible, free and fair elections next year,” he said.
