The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Saturday held its second national convention in Abuja, during which Alhaji Falalu Bello was elected as its national chairman.
Other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) elected at the convention were Stanley Ezeanyaku, national vice-chairman, South; Comrade Babatunde Ali, national secretary; Hajiya Aisha Dankani, national vice-chairman, North-West; Barr Abduganiyu Muhammed, national vice chairman, North- East, and Kolade Oluwaseun, national vice-chairman, South-West, among others.
Addressing the crowd of delegates, chieftains and supporters of the party at the convention held at Chida Hotel, Abuja, after his reelection, Bello said Nigeria would be in trouble if the party failed to take over power in 2023.

He called on delegates to go for a membership drive.
“Unless we change power, we are in trouble. I am from Kaduna and I cannot go home by air, train or road; that is the situation in the country,” he said.
In his goodwill message, a former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, charged the delegates to be up and doing, saying, “The PRP has a unique opportunity to contest and win elections so that we can bring order to the country.”
He lamented that Nigerian politics had been populated by those that do not mean well for the people, and urged delegates and members of the party to work hard as that is the only way to bring the “brigandage and selfishness in the polity to an end.”
