The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday dismissed reports of a split within the Peoples Democratic Party, insisting the party remains united as it prepares for its national convention scheduled on March 29 and 30, 2026.
Wike spoke to journalists in Abuja after inspecting several ongoing and completed infrastructure projects across the capital city.
Addressing speculation about internal divisions, he maintained that disagreements among members do not amount to factionalisation.
“We have only one PDP, no faction,” he said.
He added, “I don’t know which camp you are talking about. There is only one PDP. Some individuals may not be happy, yes, but there is no faction.”
The minister noted that while some grievances may exist, reconciliation efforts are still ongoing and can proceed alongside preparations for the convention.
“That there is a convention does not mean there will be no reconciliation. Everything has its own time,” he said.
