FCT Minister Wike Revokes PDP National Headquarters Land Approval
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has revoked the land approval for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Headquarters in Abuja.
The revocation was communicated through a letter addressed to the PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagun, citing the party’s failure to pay annual ground rents on the property for 20 years, from January 1, 2006, to January 1, 2025 .
The FCT Administration had previously issued multiple public notices in national newspapers and electronic media since 2023, urging all landowners in the capital city to clear their outstanding payments.
However, the PDP’s non-compliance led to the forfeiture of their rights over the property, violating Section 28, Subsection 5 (a) and (b) of the Land Use Act.
As a result, the land, located at Plot No. 243, Central Area, Cadastral Zone A00, Abuja, has been reclaimed by the FCT Administration, which will take immediate possession of the property.
The revocation is a significant development, as the land contains a building intended to serve as the party’s new secretariat, although construction is still incomplete.
