The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has dismissed reports of internal division, insisting that the party remains united and is focused on strengthening its political presence ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, rejected claims of a faction allegedly operating under the name “PRP-Vanguard Collective.”

Ishaq described the group as unknown to the party’s leadership, alleging that the reports were part of efforts by external interests to destabilise the PRP at a time it is gaining political visibility.

“These individuals are not known by the party leadership,” he said, adding that the timing of the claims suggests a coordinated attempt to distract the party’s growing momentum.

He stressed that the PRP would not be intimidated or distracted by what he called propaganda or media distortions, warning that the party remains alert to both “genuine and manufactured” political attacks.

The statement comes amid increasing political activity and alignments across parties ahead of the 2027 elections, with several political groups navigating internal disputes and coalition discussions.

Founded in 1978, the PRP is one of Nigeria’s oldest political parties and is known for its socialist-leaning ideology and advocacy for social justice and pro-people policies.

Ishaq said the party’s endurance through decades of political transitions, including military rule, reflects its institutional strength and resilience.

He added that the PRP remains committed to its principles and would continue its political mobilisation without being derailed by internal or external distractions.
