The Nigeria Police have opened the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, in Abuja. This allows a group of party members who support the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to enter.
Abdulrahman Mohammed, the factional National Chairman, confirmed the news in a statement released on Saturday by Jungudo Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary.
According to Mohammed, the opening of the party’s national secretariat and its presidential campaign office, Legacy House in Maitama, was done in accordance with court orders.
He also said that the properties have now been given to the National Working Committee, which is led by Mohammed and has Samuel Anyanwu as its National Secretary.
He praised the police for what he called professionalism and respect for due process, saying that the move shows that they are following the law.
“This action shows a clear respect for constitutional order and due process,” he said.
He did, however, say that the party would not put up with any kind of obstruction, disruption, or breach of peace at the secretariat. He also stressed that security forces are ready to deal with anyone who breaks the law.
Mohammed said that this news should reassure party members that the recent internal crisis has been resolved. He also asked those who are upset to put their differences aside and work toward unity.
He also thanked party leaders and stakeholders, especially Wike, for their support, saying it was very important.
In November 2025, the police sealed off Wadata Plaza and Legacy House after violent fights broke out between different groups in the party.
The group that supports Tanimu Turaki, on the other hand, has called the unsealing “disrespectful.”
Its spokesman, Ini Ememobong, said in a statement that the police’s decision is currently being appealed, and all parties have been informed.
He said that the action could hurt the outcome of the appeal process.
Ememobong went on to say that the move was troubling because it could mean that the police are getting involved in politics.
He did, however, tell party members to stay peaceful and follow the law, promising that legal action would be taken to protect the rights of what he called “real” PDP members.
He was hopeful that the crisis would end, and he urged members to stay hopeful and committed to democratic values.
“Though pain may stay with you at night, joy will come in the morning.” “Let’s get through this with hope,” Ememobong said.
