The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revoked the land allocated to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its national secretariat in Abuja due to non-payment of ground rent.

Wike issued the revocation notice in a letter dated March 13, 2025, titled “Notice of right of occupancy with file no: MISC 81346 in respect of plot no: 243 within central area district, Abuja,” on Tuesday. The notice, signed by the Director of Land Administration, Chijioke Nwankwoeze, stated that PDP had failed to pay its annual ground rent for 20 years, from January 1, 2006, to January 1, 2025, despite multiple reminders through national newspapers and electronic media.

The minister’s action is based on the Land Use Act No. 6 of 1978, which empowers him to revoke land allocations for non-compliance. As a result, the FCT Administration (FCTA) will take possession of the property until the outstanding dues are cleared.
