Four People’s Redemption Party (PRP) chairmen have emerged at the just concluded congress held on Saturday in Kano, following parallel congresses conducted at different locations.

 Those who emerged as chairmen are; Sammani Sharu, Abdulmajid Tarauni, Muntari Zango and Abba Sule Na Matazu.

 Daily Trust gathered that the emergence of the four PRP chairmen was a result of power play between the former PRP chairman in the state and other leaders of the party.

Alhaji Abba Sule Na Matazu, who said he was picked by consensus at their congress held at Mambayya House, Kano, pledged that his team would lead by example and work with everyone to strengthen the party.

The congress held at Mambayya House was conducted by a seven-member committee deployed from the PRP national headquarters led by Ibrahim Sulaiman, who is the party’s national administrative secretary and observed by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

 The new PRP chairman, Alhaji Na Matazu, said the congress also produced 16 others as members of the state executive council of the party by consensus.

On his part, the PRP National Administrative Secretary, Alhaji Sulaiman, said the party only recognised the congress held at the location approved by the party’s leadership which was Mambayya House.
