The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, aligned with Kabiru Turaki has challenged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to make good his threat to shut down its operational office.

The response followed remarks by Wike during his monthly media briefing, where he questioned the legitimacy of the Turaki-led faction and demanded that the group operate openly if it truly existed.
Wike had also warned that any property being used by the faction for party activities could be sealed.
Reacting, Ibrahim Abdullahi, a former PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary and private principal secretary to Kabiru Turaki, said the faction was already operating from a known office.
“We have been operating from an office. He knows the location; he should come there and take over the office if he can,” Abdullahi said.
“It is a temporary office, but we are meeting there and carrying out our functions,” he added.
Abdullahi warned that the deepening crisis within the PDP could worsen political instability in the country.
According to him, the situation was pushing Nigeria towards a Hobbesian state of disorder, “where life is brutish, short, and nasty.”
Also reacting, the spokesperson of the Turaki faction, Ini Ememobong, dismissed Wike’s remarks as unrealistic and misleading.
He said the minister’s threat against banks that may open accounts for the faction was misplaced, insisting that the group was already operating party accounts.
“His delusional boast of dealing with banks that will open accounts for us is delusional, as he is already aware that we are operating accounts of the party, which is why his group of friends are receiving money through private accounts,” Ememobong said.
