Tinubu’s Order Ignored: PDP Headquarters Still Locked by Wike’s Loyalists

After President Bola Tinubu ordered Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) authorities to unseal premises seized for non-payment of ground rent, the PDP’s national headquarters remains locked and key more than twenty-four hours later.
An outrage was reportedly caused by the FCTA’s wholesale sealing of properties on Monday, but Tinubu stepped in and ordered the defaulting houses to be unsealed.
Before the deadline, the President advised the defaulters to regularize all of their land titles and provided them a 14-day grace period to pay the ground rent or face a penalty of ₦2 million.

At around 10:15 a.m. on Wednesday, the entrance of the PDP headquarters in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, remained padlocked, with the FCTA seal adhered to the lock, according to Daily Trust.
There were reports of party employees sitting outside the main gate and others wandering around, complaining about the situation.

A staff member who talked off the record commented on the development, saying he believes there is an underlying directive that PDP should not be opened.

“I was here when the FCTA staff came around yesterday,” the individual stated. They visited FIRS, NAPTIP, and the Ibro Hotel and opened them all. They sped out in their car as soon as they arrived at our office.

“The director of Lands told me that they are still awaiting AGIS’s directive to unseal PDP when I followed them to their office.”

The PDP has not yet responded to the most recent development in an official statement as of the time this report was filed.
