People’s Redemption party (PRP) - SS3 Government Past Questions and Answers - page 1

 1978

Alhaji Aminu Kano

Populist and socialist

To represent the interests of the northern part of Nigeria

The PRP won a significant number of seats in the National Assembly but no governorships

The PRP's platform included policies aimed at improving the economic and social conditions of ordinary Nigerians, greater decentralization of political power, the recognition of the cultural and linguistic diversity of the country, and the protection of the rights of women and other marginalized groups.

The decline of the PRP in the 1990s was due to internal divisions within the party, external pressures from the ruling National Party of Nigeria (NPN) and other political opponents, and the general decline of socialist and progressive movements in Nigeria and around the world.
