Wike and Governors Makinde, Bala Mohammed in Showdown at PDP Secretariat, Abuja

Tensions escalated on Tuesday at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretariat in Abuja as Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and the governors of Oyo and Bauchi states, Seyi Makinde and Bala Mohammed, became embroiled in a confrontation over control of the party headquarters.

According to a source, security personnel aligned with both factions engaged in a chaotic struggle over access to the secretariat, with heavy teargas fired around the Wuse Zone Five premises as tensions escalated.

Governor Makinde arrived at the scene accompanied by the newly elected National Secretary, Taofeek Arapaja, while Wike remained inside the building alongside Samuel Anyanwu, the embattled National Secretary who insists his tenure is valid until December 8, 2025.

The standoff has heightened concerns within the party, with several PDP leaders accusing the police of failing to remain neutral amid the growing leadership crisis.
