Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed swirling rumours of a split in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), insisting the opposition party stands united and focused ahead of its national convention despite internal grumbles.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, after an on-the-spot inspection of major infrastructure projects across Abuja, Wike brushed off faction talk with characteristic bluntness.
“We have only one PDP, no faction. I don’t know which camp you are talking about. Some individuals may not be happy, but that does not translate to faction,” he declared.

While acknowledging outreach from aggrieved party members, Wike framed reconciliation as an ongoing process rather than evidence of division.
“Yes, some individuals have reached out to say ‘let bygone be bygone,’ but that does not mean there is any faction. Reconciliation can still go on even as the convention proceeds,” he added.
During the tour of key projects under the FCT Administration’s aggressive push in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, Wike showcased significant progress:
At the bustling bridge site near the Fire Service, he lavished praise on contractors, projecting completion within five months. “From what we have seen, it is a very quality job. I commend the company,” he said.

The N5 road, handled by Julius Berger, has been completed and will be inaugurated as part of activities marking the third anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
At the Nigerian Law School, Wike inspected 10 newly built, fully furnished staff bungalows, hailing them as a game-changer. “This is the first time a government is providing this kind of infrastructure for the Nigerian Law School.” The upgrades are expected to address chronic accommodation shortages and pave the way for higher student intake.
He expressed satisfaction with the female hostel but issued a stern warning over the male counterpart. “I am not impressed with the level of work there. They were awarded at the same time and should be at the same level,” he snapped. Contractors promised handover between October and November, a timeline Wike grudgingly accepted.

Wike unpacked the FCT’s funding philosophy, stressing that results stem from commitment rather than mere cash flow.
“It is not about money, it is about commitment. You can have all the money and achieve nothing if there is no discipline,” he said.
He explained that the administration relies heavily on internally generated revenue and only awards projects for which funds are available. “Projects we do not have funds for, we do not award them,” he affirmed.

Wike credited President Tinubu’s unwavering support as the secret behind the administration’s success. “When you have a President that gives you support, you have no excuse for failure,” he beamed.
The minister’s remarks come as the PDP prepares for its national convention, with ongoing efforts to resolve internal leadership disputes and present a united front ahead of the 2027 general elections.
