Who’s in Charge—Tinubu or Wike? FCDA refuse to unseal PDP secretariat

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is no longer just acting like a powerful appointee he’s acting like a co-president.

Despite President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s explicit instruction to allow a 14-day grace period for all ground rent defaulters, the gates of the PDP National Secretariat at Wadata Plaza, Zone 5, remain sealed. Even more troubling, armed police officers are still stationed there like it’s a crime scene.

Why?

What exactly are they guarding? The building? The rent? Or Wike’s ego?

Let’s not pretend this is about enforcing policy. If the president the commander-in-chief of the armed forces has directed a pause for compliance, who gave the police the right to ignore that? Has the Nigerian Police Force become an extension of Wike’s personal task force?

This is not governance. This is dictatorship in disguise. The FCDA may be under the FCT Minister, but the Nigeria Police Force isn’t. Their continued presence at the PDP secretariat is either a gross act of disobedience or a quiet signal that someone else is calling the shots.

It begs the question: Is President Tinubu really in charge or has he handed the capital over to a political warlord?

Enough is enough. The laws of this country must apply to everyone, including powerful ministers playing emperor in Abuja.
