The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has revoked the land approval for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Headquarters in Abuja.
The revocation was communicated through a letter addressed to the PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagun.
According to the letter, the decision was based on the party’s failure to pay annual ground rents on the property for 20 years, from January 1, 2006, to January 1, 2025. The FCT Administration had previously issued multiple public notices in national newspapers and electronic media since 2023, urging all landowners in the capital city to clear their outstanding payments.
The letter further stated that PDP’s non-compliance violated Section 28, Subsection 5 (a) and (b) of the Land Use Act, leading to the forfeiture of their rights over the property.
It added that as a result, the land, located at Plot No. 243, Central Area, Cadastral Zone A00, Abuja, has now been reclaimed by the FCT Administration, which will take immediate possession of the property.
