The Abdulrahman Mohammed-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Caretaker Committee says the party’s national secretariat, Wadata Plaza, will be reopened on Monday.
The party’s faction, backed by Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, disclosed this after the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) quarterly meeting with leaders of political parties in Abuja on Thursday.
The Nigeria Police Force had, on Nov. 19, 2025, locked the PDP national secretariat, following a clash between the Taminu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) and that of the factional acting National Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed.
Anyanwu said the party leaders could not possess the Wadata Plaza, because it was lockedas a result of a clash between the two factions in the party.
“We wrote to the police. Remember that the police sealed the place and then the other group went to court to ask the police to open it.
“The matter was dismissed because they have no locus. So by Monday, we are taking over the office,” he said.
Anyanwu said there was no faction in the PDP, adding that the party remained under the leadership of Mohammed, the reason they attended INEC meeting with other political parties.
“Yes, we had issues, court issues, and last week Friday, as a matter of fact, the Federal High Court in Ibadan made it very clear that the problem of PDP is over because the so-called convention of Nov.15 and 16, 2025 is a nullity.
“No other person should parade himself or herself as a member of the NWC of the PDP.
“The body that has the full powers to speak for the party and administer the party is the National Caretaker Committee, led by Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammad,” he said.
Anyanwu said members were now happy that normalcy had returned to the party, adding that those who were afraid that the PDP would not have candidates in the forthcoming elections, it was now settled that the party would field candidates for all positions.
“So we’re happy; people are happy that normalcy has come to the party now.
“You can see something different because you have old hands who have been in this party, who have been managers of this party for a long time, for the last 25 years.
“We are still involved. So, we are going to fast-track everything,” he said.
Mohammed and Anyanwu had earlier in the day represented PDP at a meeting held by INEC with political parties.
