Tensions Soar as Wike Orders Sealing of PDP National Secretariat in Abuja

In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s political landscape, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has reportedly ordered the sealing of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat in Abuja, beginning Monday.

The announcement was made via Nigerian Stories’ official X (formerly Twitter) handle, stating:
“BREAKING: FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has directed the sealing of the PDP national secretariat in Abuja, starting Monday.”

This unprecedented move has sparked widespread speculation and heightened political tension, given Wike’s controversial ties with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) despite being a chieftain of the PDP until recently.

Observers are questioning the motive behind the directive, especially at a time when internal party rifts and national discontent are reaching fever pitch. Critics argue the action may be politically motivated, aimed at silencing opposition voices and destabilising the PDP ahead of looming electoral battles.

So far, no official statement has been released by the PDP in response to the development. However, sources within the party say consultations are ongoing, and a formal reaction is expected soon.

This latest episode adds yet another layer of intrigue to Nigeria’s ever-evolving political theatre—one that promises more fireworks in the days ahead.
