Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that he is keeping a careful eye on events within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) branch in Oyo State. He emphasizes that his concern is a result of his dedication to the party’s survival and strength.
According to reports, Wike said those things on Monday while addressing the 105th PDP National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
“Let me make it clear that I am interested in this party’s survival and success. Additionally, I am curious about everything that is going on in the Oyo State PDP. That’s all I’m interested in,” he said.
Wike also denied allegations that PDP members were being intimidated, especially considering recent court rulings in favor of his party’s division.
“Who will intimidate us to the end?” he uttered. By God’s favor, some of us are resistant to threats. The lawsuit has been dropped. Their only choice is to acknowledge the Caretaker Committee.
His remarks seem to be in reference to the power struggle inside the Oyo PDP after a section loyal to Governor Seyi Makinde and Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State annulled a parallel national convention held in November 2025.
Earlier, the Makinde-Bala group’s convention was declared invalid by the Federal High Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, which sided with the faction that formed a Caretaker Committee for the state.
