The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has announced his withdrawal from all previous agreements reached to resolve the ongoing crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), vowing to "fight on until justice is attained."

In a statement personally signed by Wike on Sunday titled "PDP Crisis: My Position," the former Rivers State governor accused Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde of being "the architect of the party's present problems" and the "chief culprit" of non-adherence to agreements.

"Since after the 2023 general election, PDP has been wantonly swinging from one part of a slippery precipice to another, owing fundamentally to dishonesty and lack of trust amongst its key stakeholders," Wike stated.

The FCT Minister detailed a series of meetings held to resolve the party's issues, including a G5 meeting in Lagos and an expanded meeting in Abuja involving Governors Seyi Makinde, Umaru Fintri, Bala Mohammed, and former Senate President Bukola Saraki.

According to Wike, these meetings resulted in several resolutions, including that Senator Samuel Anyanwu would remain the National Secretary of the PDP in line with a Supreme Court judgment, all legal matters relating to Rivers State would be withdrawn, and the suit on the state of emergency would be withdrawn immediately.

However, Wike expressed disappointment that these agreements were "crudely violated" even before the Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee began its work.

"To my chagrin, Seyi Makinde had connived with Peter Mba of Enugu State to orchestrate the summoning of the meeting of so-called South-East leaders to recommend that if Ude Okoye was not adopted as Secretary, they would pull out of the PDP," Wike alleged.

He further accused Makinde of organizing "some people in the National Secretariat to insist that the Deputy National Secretary should act as National Secretary, in violation of the agreement earlier reached."

Wike cited a recent incident in Jos on May 24, 2025, where a zonal elective congress of the PDP was aborted because the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refused to attend. This was because the invitation letter was signed by the Deputy National Secretary instead of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, whom Wike described as "the proper signatory recognized by law."

"This is undeniably distasteful, provocative and annoying, to say the least," Wike remarked.

The Minister emphasized his long-standing membership and contributions to the PDP since 1998, stating that he has "worked tirelessly for the survival of this party with all my strength" and that none of his current opponents have "done anything close to what I have done to sustain this party."

"What is more painful is that I contributed substantially to most of these governors winning their elections, yet I have not made any personal demands on any of them and I would never do so," Wike added.

Concluding his statement, Wike declared: "I have now firmly decided to pull out of all agreements hitherto reached. I have decided to fight on until justice is attained."

This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing crisis within Nigeria's main opposition party, which has been plagued by internal conflicts since the 2023 general elections.
