The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially distanced itself from any agreements reportedly made by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, declaring that such arrangements are personal and do not represent the party's official position.

This clarification comes amid a deepening internal crisis that continues to threaten the unity and cohesion of Nigeria's main opposition party.

Daniel Woyengikuro, the National Financial Secretary of the PDP, emphasized that the party had no involvement in any deals made by Wike, who has been at the center of ongoing party disputes.

"What agreements are we talking about? Wike had agreements with his friends, not with the party. Those names he mentioned — are they the party? The party was not involved in any agreements he made. We have no knowledge of such agreements," Woyengikuro stated.

The National Financial Secretary stressed the need for the party's National Executive Committee (NEC), which is its highest decision-making organ apart from the convention, to convene and address the growing disputes within the party ranks.

"The NEC will address any issues. This isn't a physical fight or a man-to-man confrontation. All this unnecessary drama is uncalled for," he added.

Woyengikuro also dismissed Wike's public accusations, advising Nigerians to seek official party positions from the appropriate authorities rather than relying on individual statements.

The development comes as reports indicate that Wike has pulled out of all agreements and publicly stated his reasons for taking such action, further complicating the already tense situation within the party.

This latest disagreement adds to the ongoing crisis in the PDP, which has seen various reconciliation efforts, including a peace panel headed by former Senate President Bukola Saraki, attempting to resolve the internal conflicts.

Despite the current turmoil, some party members, including Senator Agom-Jarigbe, have expressed confidence that the current crisis will not spell the end of the PDP, which has been a major political force in Nigeria since the return to democratic rule in 1999.
