Primary Elections: Nigerians Now Know You’re Liars, Wike Blasts ADC, NDC

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has lambasted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), saying the outcome of their recent presidential primaries has exposed them as “liars” who have been deceiving Nigerians. Speaking in Abuja while reacting to the crisis and protests that trailed the opposition parties’ primaries, Wike said the ADC and NDC had presented themselves as messiahs and claimed they would conduct transparent, data-driven internal elections, only to be engulfed in allegations of manipulation at their first major test. “As small as the NDC is, it cannot hold its primary election without protests,” Wike said, mocking the party for failing to manage its internal processes. He added: “Nigerians now know that you are all liars,” insisting that the crisis showed the parties were no different […]

2027: Wike Bars Unrecognised Party Factions From Abuja Event Centres, Hotels

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reportedly warned that unrecognised or court-disputed factions of political parties will not be allowed to use Abuja event centres and hotels for conventions or political gatherings ahead of the 2027 elections. The move comes amid ongoing controversy over the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention venue saga, in which party officials alleged that the proprietor of Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja cancelled their fully paid booking after coming under pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and the FCT Minister. The ADC claimed the venue owner was threatened with licence revocation if he allowed the convention to proceed at the facility. Wike has repeatedly denied these allegations, insisting that no formal application was submitted to use major public venues such as Eagle Square or the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. He […]

2027 Presidency: Controversies Trail ADC Primaries, Court Clears Jonathan

Controversies have trailed the presidential primaries of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike jostle for the party’s ticket ahead of the 2027 general election. The heightened tension within the ADC followed the Federal High Court judgment delivered on Tuesday in Abuja, which cleared former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election. Justice Peter Lifu dismissed a suit filed by Abuja-based lawyer Johnmary Jideobi seeking to bar Jonathan from running, ruling that the former president remains eligible under the 1999 Constitution as amended. Justice Lifu held that Section 137(3) of the Constitution, which restricts any person from taking the oath of office of president more than twice, could not be applied retroactively to Jonathan, who completed the tenure of the late […]

Court Dismisses Suit Seeking to Bar Kingibe From ADC Activities

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed an urgent application seeking to bar Senator Ireti Kingibe from participating in activities of the African Democratic Congress following her alleged suspension from the party. Justice Peter Lifu on Thursday rejected an ex parte application filed by leaders of the ADC in Wuse Ward of the Federal Capital Territory who claimed the FCT lawmaker had been suspended over alleged anti-party activities. Instead of granting the request the judge directed the plaintiffs to put the senator on notice to appear in court and respond to their allegations. The judge ruled that discretion in requests for prohibition from party activities and in political matters must be exercised judicially and judiciously. Justice Lifu added that justice would be met in the case of the plaintiffs only when the side of the defendant is heard on […]

PDP crisis: Wike accuses Turaki, others of flouting court rulings

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and influential Peoples Democratic Party leader, Nyesom Wike, has accused Kabiru Tanimu Turaki and his allies of disregarding clear court rulings in the ongoing PDP leadership crisis. He said the faction has continued to act in open defiance of binding judgments on the party’s disputed convention and national executive. Wike insisted that a series of court decisions, including those of the Federal High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, have already settled the questions around the legality of the PDP convention held in Ibadan and the leadership it produced. He accused the Turaki camp of twisting and misrepresenting the judgments to confuse party members and the public. According to him, the Court of Appeal ruling delivered on March 9 upheld an earlier Federal High Court decision that the processes leading to the […]

FCT satellite towns benefiting from Tinubu’s administration — Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says satellite towns across the territory are now benefiting significantly from President Bola Tinubu’s administration through upgraded infrastructure and expanded social services. Speaking on Wednesday after inspecting ongoing projects in Abuja, Wike said federal interventions now extend beyond major roads to education, water supply and healthcare facilities in previously neglected communities. He noted that satellite towns had “never experienced such a level of attention” before now, pointing out that several schools in rural parts of the FCT have been renovated and furnished in the last three years. Wike disclosed that a major satellite water project serving Bwari, Karu and Orozo will be inaugurated to mark President Tinubu’s third anniversary in office, improving access to potable water for thousands of residents. According to him, government is also closing health infrastructure gaps through […]

Police unseal PDP secretariat as factions clash over control

The Nigeria Police Force has reopened the Peoples Democratic Party national secretariat, Wadata Plaza in Abuja, handing control to a faction backed by Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike. Factional National Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed announced the development in a statement issued by National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Mohammed on Saturday in Abuja. He said both the secretariat and the party’s presidential campaign office, Legacy House in Maitama, were unsealed in line with valid court orders. According to him, the properties have now been formally handed over to the Mohammed led National Working Committee, with Senator Samuel Anyanwu recognised as National Secretary. Mohammed praised the police for what he described as professionalism and respect for the rule of law, saying the action showed commitment to constitutional order and due process. He warned that the party would not tolerate any obstruction, disruption or […]

IBAN demands apology from Wike over ‘shoot’ remark, threatens boycott

The Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria has demanded a public apology from Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike over his controversial remark about Channels TV anchor Seun Okinbaloye. During a recent live programme, Wike had said that if he could break his TV screen he would “shoot” Okinbaloye over the journalist’s analysis of Nigeria’s democracy, a comment that sparked outrage among media stakeholders. In a statement signed by IBAN chairman Ahmed Ramalan and acting general secretary Fidelis Duker, the association described the minister’s words as inappropriate and capable of being interpreted as a threat or intimidation against journalists. While Wike later clarified that he did not intend physical harm, IBAN said public officials must avoid expressions suggesting violence because they can worsen an already hostile environment for media practitioners who face surveillance, attacks and arbitrary arrests. IBAN has therefore asked […]

INEC Recognises Abdulrahman Mohammed As PDP National Chairman

The Independent National Electoral Commission has recognised Abdulrahman Mohammed as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party. The recognition follows recent court decisions and the outcome of the party’s latest convention in Abuja. INEC’s position aligns with a Federal High Court judgment which voided the party’s November 16, 2025 convention in Ibadan and affirmed the Abdulrahman led structure. The commission subsequently updated its records to reflect Mohammed and his team as the authorised PDP leadership. At the recent PDP convention, delegates endorsed Abdulrahman Mohammed and a 22 member National Working Committee through a consensus arrangement. The convention was largely driven by a bloc of the party loyal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. Other national officers returned alongside Mohammed include Samuel Anyanwu as national secretary and several deputies and financial officers. Party insiders say the new leadership has been […]

2027: Support for Tinubu deepens rift in PDP

Fresh tension has erupted in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as internal divisions widen over whether the opposition party should back President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027 or present its own presidential candidate. A faction led by former minister Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, with the support of Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde, has firmly rejected any plan to adopt Tinubu, insisting it would be “improper” for an opposition party to endorse the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. The rival camp, aligned with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, is more open to supporting Tinubu and currently backs the National Caretaker Committee organising Sunday’s March 29 national convention in Abuja. This has left the PDP effectively split into two blocs, even as reconciliation talks continue and some court cases are expected to be withdrawn if a political […]
