Kola Abiola, eldest son of the late politician Moshood Abiola, has declared interest to contest the 2023 presidential election under the platform of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
Abiola announced this on Thursday at the party’s national secretariat.
According to him, only the PRP could give the youth such opportunity to make their number count.
“I came back into politics through the PRP for some good reasons. I have gone back to the history of Nigeria to look at the party that truly represents Nigeria. I have gone back and I have found out that the oldest living party is the PRP, it still holds those ideals of what Nigeria and democratic practice should be like,” he said.
“It is a party that was started by the people and truly for the people. It is a party that has showed first, as its priority, internal democracy.
“I have come back to PRP to show Nigerians that not too long ago, we did things in the right way and the new entities that have come together nowadays forget that there was Nigeria that did things right.
“I am one that believes in an equal opportunity employer be it employment, be it business, equally in politics and I believe this party represents all of these.
“Everybody should have equal opportunity irrespective of age, religion and ethnicity and that is represented here.”
Abiola raised concerns over the low participation of the youth in politics and called for a change.
Chairman of the party Falalu Bello welcomed Abiola to the party.
