PRP SW Vice Chair Wolimoh Olajide Epe resigns over party relevance

Wolimoh Olajide Epe, the Peoples Redemption Party's National Vice Chairman for the Southwest, resigned effective immediately, addressing his letter to National Chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed. He said his decision followed wide consultations with supporters and political associates, and was not made in haste after determining that remaining in the PRP no longer aligned with his political goals or those of his backers. Epe cited the party's lack of national relevance and limited political direction, arguing it had failed to evolve into a strong national force capable of competing for federal power. He noted many supporters worried about the PRP's inability to build momentum across the country and claimed the party now functions more as a forum for political discussion than a vehicle for contesting and influencing governance. Despite acknowledging his past service as a committee member, National Youth Leader, and then Vice Chairman, he urged the PRP leadership to reflect on these observations and take steps to reposition the party for greater national relevance and inclusiveness. The resignation comes ahead of the 2027 general elections, raising questions about the PRP's electoral prospects and internal cohesion. For PRP members and observers, does this resignation signal an urgent need for reform, or will the party continue as a discussion-focused platform ahead of next year's polls?
