PDP Moves Meeting to Another Venue as FCTA Shuts Down National Headquarters 

Following the shutdown of the PDP national headquarters by the administration of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), the  Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced that it is holding its 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at Legacy House, the party’s presidential campaign headquarters, in the Maitama District of Abuja.

This was noted in a statement released by the national leadership of the party on Tuesday.

"The 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is holding today, Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at the party’s presidential campaign office, Legacy House, located in the Maitama District, Abuja.

"The high-level gathering brings together key stakeholders and leaders of the party, including the PDP National Chairman, members of the National Working Committee (NWC), state governors, serving and former presidents and vice-presidents, the chairman and secretary of the Board of Trustees (BoT), principal officers of the National Assembly, state party chairpersons, former governors, and founding members, among others," the statement noted.

The meeting aims to address critical issues affecting the party, including strategies for upcoming political engagements.

The FCTA staff on Monday locked the entrance gate of Wadata Plaza, the PDP’s national secretariat located in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja for non payment of ground rent, a yearly fee landowners pay for the right to occupy and use their land.

It would be recalled that in March 2025, Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), revoked 4,794 land titles in the country’s capital.

The decision was reached over alleged non-payment of ground rents.
Speaking earlier at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Mukhtar Galadima, Director, Department of Development Control, noted that the FCTA would seal up the affected properties on Monday.
