Leadership Crisis Hits PRP

“The PRP is not for sale to the highest bidder,” Daudu said. “It is a party of the working class, progressive intellectuals and the toiling masses, not a refuge for failed politicians seeking relevance.”

Daudu said they would not allow the “Kaduna mafia” elites to dominate the party structure, assuring that the PRP remains committed to its founding ideals rooted in the philosophy of the late Malam Aminu Kano, the leader of the ‘talakawa’.

He said the PRP-Vanguard would continue to challenge the legitimacy of the Abuja convention in court while mobilising support across the country.

The faction also dismissed calls for reconciliation within the party, questioning the basis for unity amid what it described as “illegality and ideological compromise.”

It warned against turning the PRP into a “personal fiefdom,” alleging that some actors were more interested in financial gains and political patronage than in building a viable grassroots movement.

The group also criticised Nigeria’s prevailing political and economic system, describing it as a “neocolonial capitalist order” that has failed the masses since independence.

It also took a swipe at the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing it of worsening poverty and economic hardship.

“The struggle to rescue the PRP from elite capture is part of the broader fight to liberate Nigeria from exploitation,” Daudu said.

He reaffirmed the faction’s commitment to pursuing its cause through legal action, grassroots mobilisation and public engagement, insisting that the PRP remains “Jam’iyyar talakawa” and not a platform for the ruling class.
