Wike Challenges PDP Rival Faction to Open Bank Account, Secretariat
Wike said the faction must show legal backing and party documents, arguing banks will not open an account without recognized leadership.
- On Wednesday, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike challenged the rival Tanimu Turaki faction of the Peoples Democratic Party to prove its leadership claim by opening an official party bank account and secretariat in Abuja.
- Wike argued that no financial institution would recognize such an account because the faction lacks the necessary party documents and authentic PDP credentials.
- The Minister warned he would seal off any property used as an illegal party headquarters in Abuja, accusing rival actors of ignoring Supreme Court rulings to cause political disruption.
- Challenging Turaki, a Senior Advocate, to prove his faction's legitimacy, Wike dismissed claims that a Supreme Court ruling favored the rival faction.
- Wike insisted he remains a committed PDP member defending constitutional order, warning, "That day, you will see what will happen," regarding potential illegal actions.
