Emergence of New Faction in PRP One Week After Coalition Talks Shows How Rotten Nigerian Politics Has Become — Rufai Oseni

The emergence of a new faction within the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), just one week after the party was linked to coalition talks, has been described as a reflection of the deep-seated rot in Nigeria’s political system.

Nigerian ace broadcaster, Rufai Oseni in a post on X, said the development underscores the instability and recurring factional struggles that often follow political negotiations and alignments in the country.

He noted that such internal divisions weaken party structures and raise concerns about the sincerity and durability of political coalitions ahead of elections.

At a press briefing in Kano, the self-acclaimed factional National Chairman Comrade Abdulmajid Dauda, while distancing the group from the said convention and its outcome, described it as a “sham, and in violation of the party’s constitution.

Dauda alleged orchestrated plots by some vested interests whom he tagged “the Kaduna Mafia”  to hijack and sell the party’s structure ahead of the 2027 elections .

According to him ,the faction led by the Kaduna Mafia lacks the legitimacy to act on behalf of the PRP, insisting that the party remains a socialist platform devoted to the preservation and promotion of the interests of the masses.

Specifically,  Daudu took exception to the emergence of the Baba-Ahmed leadership , and its speculated plans to invite politicians from other parties into the PRP.

“The PRP is not for sale to the highest bidder, or to those seeking to purchase it for political convenience. Buyer beware”, Daudu warned.
