PRP National Vice Chairman Wolimoh Olajide Epe Resigns Ahead of 2027 General Elections

The National Vice Chairman, South‑West, of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Wolimoh Olajide Epe, has resigned his membership of the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Epe said his decision was based on concerns over what he described as the party’s lack of national relevance and inadequate political direction. He emphasized that the resignation took immediate effect.

The former party chieftain explained that the move was not sudden; he had consulted political associates, supporters, and other stakeholders who had followed his activities within the PRP.

According to Epe, several discussions and engagements about the future of the PRP eventually convinced him that remaining in the party would no longer serve his political goals or those of his supporters.

He added that the resignation followed a careful assessment of the party’s direction and its ability to play a meaningful role in national politics.

While announcing his exit, Epe expressed appreciation to the PRP for the opportunities he received during his years of service. 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 his years of service and the positions he held, Epe said he had become increasingly concerned about the party’s inability to grow into a strong national political force.

He argued that the PRP had failed to develop into a political platform capable of effectively challenging for power at the federal level, and that many of his supporters shared worries about the party’s inability to build political momentum across the country.

Epe claimed there was a growing feeling among party members and supporters that the PRP lacked the seriousness and ambition needed to become a major political force, and that the party had gradually moved away from active political engagement, becoming more of a discussion platform than a vehicle for contesting elections and influencing governance.

He said this development no longer aligned with his political aspirations or those of the people supporting his political activities.

Epe, however, expressed hope that the PRP leadership would consider his concerns and take steps to reposition the party.

He stated, “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.”
