The PDP has called out the Tinubu-led administration after the Federal Capital Territory Administration sealed its headquarters in Abuja over 28 years of unpaid ground rent. The party described the move as political witch-hunting and a threat to democracy.
- FCTA sealed Wadata Plaza, PDP's national secretariat, on May 26.
- Action was taken due to non-payment of ground rent since 1996.
- PDP acting chairman Umar Damagum called it a “reckless abuse of power.”
- Emergency caucus meeting held; a small committee set up to respond.
- Damagum warned of possible arrests but said the party is “ready.”
The sealing of PDP’s headquarters has sparked debate, with critics accusing the party of financial negligence while the PDP alleges political harassment. Damagum’s statements echo growing concerns about rising political tensions in the capital, especially as opposition parties prepare for future elections.
As PDP prepares its official response, Nigerians await clarity on whether this administrative enforcement or political targeting? The party promises to reveal the next steps following a committee report on Tuesday.
