Wike Reportedly Refuses to Unseal PDP Headquarters Despite President Tinubu’s Directive

Despite President Bola Tinubu’s directive to unseal the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the building remains sealed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) under the leadership of Minister Nyesom Wike. 

On Monday, May 26, 2025, the FCTA sealed several properties in Abuja, including the PDP’s Wadata Plaza in Wuse Zone 5, over unpaid ground rents. In response to public outcry, President Tinubu intervened, ordering the unsealing of the affected properties and granting a 14-day grace period for defaulters to settle their dues.  

However, as of Wednesday morning, May 28, 2025, the PDP headquarters remained padlocked, with FCTA seals still in place. Staff members were seen outside the premises, expressing frustration over the continued closure.

Minister Wike has defended the FCTA’s actions, emphasizing the importance of ground rent payments for the administration’s revenue. He stated that the enforcement would continue, regardless of political pressure or blackmail. 

The PDP has condemned the sealing of its headquarters, describing it as an attempt to undermine democracy. Party leaders have called for immediate compliance with the President’s directive to unseal the premises.  

The situation has sparked debates about the autonomy of the FCTA and the implications of defying presidential orders. Observers are closely monitoring developments as tensions between the FCTA and the PDP escalate.
