The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed to seal any building within Abuja used by the Turaki faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to operate a party forms office, insisting such activities amount to illegality and defiance of a court judgment.
Wike speaking at a media parley on Wednesday, he declared that former Senate President Adolphus Wabara is no longer a member of the PDP, while affirming Abdulrahman as the current chairman of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
He issued a direct challenge to Senator Tanimu Turaki (SAN), daring him to open an account for the sale of PDP nomination forms, warning that such an attempt would have professional and legal consequences.
“Adolphus Wabara is no longer in the PDP; Abdulrahman is the current chairman of the PDP National Working Committee. I challenge Turaki, SAN, to open an account for the sale of PDP forms—his silk will be stripped,” Wike said.
The FCT Minister further warned that any bank that facilitates such an account would also face consequences, stressing that party financial transactions must comply with established legal requirements.
“Any bank that opens such an account will face consequences. Opening an account requires a certificate of incorporation, which is held by the party’s secretary,” he stated.
Wike also cautioned property owners in the Federal Capital Territory against allowing the faction to establish offices for the sale of PDP forms, describing such actions as aiding fraud and disregarding judicial authority.
“Any property owner in the FCT who allows Turaki and others to set up a PDP office for the sale of forms is facilitating fraud and defying a court judgment,” he warned.
Reaffirming his position, Wike said his administration would not tolerate any activity that undermines peace, law, or court decisions within the capital territory.
“I am here to uphold peace, and I will seal that property,” he added.
