A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Nyesom Wike, said on Thursday the party’s national secretariat would be reopened on Monday.
The Abdulrahman Mohammed-led National Working Committee (NWC) disclosed this after the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) quarterly meeting with leaders of political parties in Abuja on Thursday.
Police had on November 19, 2025, locked the PDP national secretariat, following a clash between the Taminu Turaki-led NWC and the rival group.
The faction Acting National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, in a chat with journalists, recalled that the secretariat was locked following a clash between the two groups.

He said: “We wrote to the police. Remember that the police sealed the place and then the other group went to court to ask the police to open it.
“The matter was dismissed because they have no locus. So by Monday, we are taking over the office.”
He insisted that there was no faction in PDP.
“Yes, we had issues, court issues, and last week Friday, as a matter of fact, the Federal High Court in Ibadan made it very clear that the problem of PDP is over because the so-called convention of November 15 and 16, 2025 is a nullity.
“No other person should parade himself or herself as a member of the NWC of the PDP.
“The body that has the full powers to speak for the party and administer the party is the National Caretaker Committee, led by Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammad,” the spokesman stated.
Anyanwu said that members were now happy that normalcy had returned to the party.
