Just in: FCT Minster Wike Revokes PDP National Secretariat Land

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) national secretariat in Abuja has been given revocation in a shocking move by the Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.

Wike cited the party’s failure to pay 20-year-long annual ground rents as the justification for the revocation, which included numerous warnings and publications in national newspapers and electronic media.

The minister sent out the revocation notice on Tuesday, titled “Notice of Right of Occupancy with File No: MISC 81346 in respect of Plot No: 243 within Central Area District, Abuja,” in a letter dated March 13, 2025.

The FCT’s Director of Land Administration, Mr. Chijioke Nwankwoeze, signed the letter.

He claims that the opposition party hasn’t paid its annual ground rent since January 1, 2006, to January 1, 2025.

In the course of carrying out the powers that the Minister of Federal Capital Territory has under the Land Use Act No. 1, I have been directed to refer to the above Right of Occupancy granted to the National Security Council (PDP) and the President of the United States. 6 of 1978, Cap. Your rights, privileges, and interests were terminated in L5, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (2004) regarding Plot No. 243 in Abuja’s Cadastral Zone A00, Central Area.

The revocation comes as a result of your continuing infraction of the terms and conditions of the grant of the Right of Occupancy by failing to pay the property’s annual ground rents for twenty (20) years, starting on January 1, 2006, through January 1, 2025.

“This is in spite of the numerous publications the FCT Administration has requested from all plot owners in the Federal Capital Territory to pay every outstanding bill and ground rent on their property since 2023, in addition to numerous national newspapers and on electronic media.”

You should take note that Section 28 Subsection 5 (a) and (b) of the Land Use Act’s proposed violations by PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) and NATIONAL SECRETARIAT (MISC 81346) are contrary to those provisions.

Wike announced that until all bills are settled, the FCTA administration will take over the party’s secretariat right away.
