The National Vice Chairman (South-West) of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Wolimoh Olajide Epe, has resigned from the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a resignation letter addressed to the National Chairman of the PRP, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, Wolimoh cited concerns over what he described as the party’s lack of national relevance and limited political direction.
He stated that his resignation takes immediate effect and followed extensive consultations with political associates, supporters and other stakeholders who had monitored his activities within the party.
According to him, the decision was not taken in haste, as several discussions about the future of the PRP convinced him that remaining in the party no longer aligned with his political aspirations and those of his supporters.
Wolimoh expressed appreciation to the PRP for the opportunities he received during his years of service.
He noted that he had served the party in various capacities, including as a committee member, National Youth Leader and later as National Vice Chairman representing the South-West zone.
Despite acknowledging the roles he occupied within the party, the former PRP chieftain maintained that the party had failed to develop into a strong national political force capable of competing effectively for power at the federal level.
He said many of his supporters had become increasingly concerned about what they viewed as the party’s inability to build political momentum across the country.
According to him, there is a growing perception among members and supporters that the PRP lacks the seriousness and ambition required to emerge as a major political platform.
Wolimoh further argued that the party had gradually shifted away from active political engagement and now functions more as a forum for political discussions than a vehicle for contesting elections and influencing governance.
“I sincerely hope the leadership of the PRP will reflect on these observations and take the necessary steps to reposition the party for greater national relevance and inclusiveness,” he stated.
