PDP Power War Deepens: Wike issues fiery ultimatum to Turaki faction ‘Open secretariat account or I’ll shut it down’

Nigeria’s opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been thrown into renewed political tension as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, issued a stern warning to the Turaki-led faction over plans to open a secretariat bank account.

Wike insisted that any structure operating outside what he described as the party’s legitimate authority would not be tolerated, threatening that the proposed secretariat could be sealed if due process is ignored.

His remarks have further escalated an already fragile internal crisis within the party.

The development has exposed deepening divisions over control, recognition, and financial authority within the PDP, as rival camps continue to battle for dominance.

Analysts warn that the ongoing feud could weaken the opposition’s unity and political strength ahead of future elections.

The situation has triggered widespread political reactions, with concerns growing over the party’s stability amid its escalating leadership struggles.
