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

In a statement titled "PDP Crisis: My Position" released on Sunday, Wike identified Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as the "architect of the party's current woes" and accused key party stakeholders of repeatedly failing to honor agreements.

"Since after the 2023 General election, the 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 several meetings and agreements that had been reached in attempts to stabilize the party, including a G5 meeting in Lagos and an expanded reconciliation meeting in Abuja attended by Governors Makinde, Bala Mohammed, Umaru Fintiri, and former Senate President Bukola Saraki.

According to Wike, these meetings had produced clear resolutions, including the recognition of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the party's National Secretary in line with a Supreme Court judgment, and the withdrawal of all contentious legal matters related to Rivers State by the PDP's National Legal Adviser.

However, Wike lamented that these agreements were violated almost immediately. "It is disheartening to note that even before the Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee began its work, the gentleman's agreement we reached at Saraki's Guest House was already being crudely violated," he said.

The Minister specifically accused Makinde of colluding with Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah to push for Udeh Okoye's emergence as National Secretary, which he claimed threatened the party's stability in the South-East. He also alleged that Makinde organized "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 from May 24, 2025, when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reportedly refused to attend a PDP zonal elective congress in Jos because the invitation letter was not signed by Senator Anyanwu, whom Wike considers the legally recognized secretary.

In his statement, Wike emphasized his long-standing commitment to the PDP: "I have been in this party since 1998 and have worked tirelessly for the survival of this party with all my strength." He noted that despite helping many governors win elections, he never asked them for anything in return.

The Minister concluded with a firm declaration: "Most importantly, I had thought that we could keep the trust amongst us, but since it is now obvious that they would continue to play games to the detriment of the party... 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 internal crisis within Nigeria's main opposition party, potentially further complicating efforts to present a united front ahead of future electoral contests.
