Wike’s camp takes over peoples democratic party secretariat in Abuja
The Nyesom Wike faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has assumed control of the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) following its reopening by the Nigeria Police Force.
Penpushing reports that National Publicity Secretary of the party, Jungudo Mohammed confirmed the development on Saturday with declaration that National Working Committee (NWC) , led by Abdulrahman Mohammed would not tolerate any actions capable of causing obstruction, disruption, or a breach of peace at the secretariat going forward.
The statement praised the Nigeria Police Force for its professionalism and commitment to the rule of law, pointing out that the move reflects strong respect for constitutional order and due process.
“The National Working Committee of the Peoples’ Democratic Party hereby informs all 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, Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed Takushara, and Senator Samuel Anyawu, National Secretary, in full compliance with duly issued court orders’, the statement read.
“The Party commends the Nigeria Police Force for its professionalism and adherence to the rule of law. 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.”
Penpushing further reports that the Mohammed-led National Working Committee (NWC) in the same vein, commended Wike for his leadership and guidance, as well as other stakeholders for their steadfast support
“The Party also expresses its profound appreciation to our leaders and stakeholders for their steadfast support during this period. In particular, we acknowledge the guidance and commitment of our National Leader, His Excellency, Chief Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, the Honourable Minister of the FCT, whose support has been invaluable. Together, we move forward, stronger, united, and more committed to our shared vision’, the statement added
Penpushing also reports that it would be recalled that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been engulfed in a prolonged internal crisis, which escalated into a breakdown of order at its National Headquarters, Wadata Plaza, Abuja, on November 18, 2025.
This was when a faction of the National Working Committee led by Tanimu Turaki (SAN) and backed by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed clashed with the Wike-aligned Mohammed-led faction of the party.
Penpushing reports that following months of legal battles, the Court of Appeal on March 9, 2026 settled the dispute in favour of Wike’s camp, nullifying the November 16, 2025 Ibadan convention endorsed by the governors.
