The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday announced that it had taken over Wadata Plaza, National Secretariat of the PDP in Abuja.
The faction said this became possible following the reopening of the secretariat by the Police.
The police had sealed off the facility, on November 18, 2025, when two factions of the party clashed in a bid to take control.
The camps had shifted the battle ground to the Court, and on March 9, 2026, an Appellate Court in Abuja settled the dispute in favour of Wike’s camp, nullifying the November 16 Ibadan convention that produced the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
Meanwhile, in a statement on Saturday, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, National Publicity Secretary of the faction loyal to Wike, cautioned that it would not tolerate any actions capable of causing obstruction, disruption, or a breach of peace at the secretariat.
“The party leadership wants to inform members and the general public that the Party’s National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, as well as The Legacy House, Maitama, have been unsealed by the Nigeria Police Force and handed over to the National Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed Takushara and Senator Samuel Anyawu, National Secretary, in full compliance with duly issued court orders.”
“This action is a clear demonstration of respect for constitutional order and due process.
“The Party strongly warns that it will not condone any act capable of causing obstruction, disruption, or breach of peace at the secretariat again. All individuals and groups are advised to conduct themselves within the bounds of the law, as security agencies have been duly alerted to take necessary action against violators.
“This positive development reassures members that the recent challenges confronting the Party have been effectively resolved. We therefore call on all aggrieved members to sheath their swords and embrace unity in the collective interest of the Party.”
