The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) on Tuesday debunked claims of internal division, saying that the party doesn’t have any faction.
The party also warned against what it described as attempts by external forces to infiltrate and destabilise the party at a time it is gaining political traction nationwide.
Muhammed Ishaq, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, made the clarification in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, strongly debunking reports of a factional group operating under the name “PRP-Vanguard Collective.”
He said, “These so-called individuals are nobodies of consequence and are not known by the PRP leadership or its members. Why is it that we are just hearing about these claims now, at a time when PRP is gaining wider political attention and gathering more momentum?
“It’s clear that these distractions are attempts by certain interests to undermine our progress, but we remain undeterred.
“We want to make it known that we cannot and won’t be shaken by intimidation, media distortion, or propaganda. We’re prepared for both genuine and manufactured aggressions. Let there be no mistake: our restraint should not be mistaken for weakness.”
The statement comes amid heightened political activity and realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, with several parties grappling with internal disputes and coalition talks.
Against this backdrop, the PRP said it would not be drawn into what it termed orchestrated efforts to weaken its structure or derail its growing influence.
“These rustic antics and tactics are, to some extent, expected as PRP continues to grow and make its mark in Nigerian politics. But know this: they will never succeed in stopping the forward march of PRP. As the saying goes, ‘no man can stop what God has destined.’
“The wickedness and desperation of these syndicates may blind them to the reality, but our resolve remains firm,” Ishaq noted.
While reaffirming its historical resilience, the party said its decades-long survival through military rule and political upheavals underscored its institutional strength.
“We’re ready, and we have begun. The future belongs to those who stand firm in truth and principle. PRP remains committed to its ideals, its members, and the Nigerian people. We won’t be distracted, we won’t be deterred, and we will continue to march forward until Nigeria’s true redemption is achieved,” the statement added.
Founded in 1978, the PRP is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s oldest surviving political parties. The party has often projected itself as a platform anchored on social justice and pro-people policies, even as it seeks to rebuild its national relevance in the current political landscape.
