On May 26, 2025, officials from the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), under the leadership of Minister Nyesom Wike, took decisive action by sealing the National Headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja.
At precisely 2:06 PM, a team of FCTA personnel arrived at Wadata Plaza, the PDP’s national secretariat located in Wuse Zone 5, and locked the entrance gates, preventing access to the building. This move has sparked significant attention and concern among party members and observers alike.
This action follows a recent announcement by the FCTA, which revealed plans to reclaim properties affected by the revocation of 4,794 land titles. These revocations stem from long-standing issues of non-payment of ground rent, which has remained outstanding for periods ranging from 10 to 43 years.
The sealing of the PDP headquarters is part of a broader effort by the FCTA to enforce compliance with land use regulations and ensure that properties within the Federal Capital Territory are properly managed. The implications of this action could be far-reaching, as it not only affects the operational capabilities of the PDP but also highlights ongoing tensions between political entities and government authorities.
