The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said the Thursday judgment of the Supreme Court has resolved the lingering leadership dispute within the Peoples Democratic Party, insisting that the party remains united.
Addressing journalists at his residence in Abuja on Thursday, Wike dismissed claims of divisions, maintaining that the court’s decision has brought clarity to the situation.
“The PDP is one. The judgment has put to rest reactions of factions within the party,” he said.
The apex court, in a split 3–2 decision, nullified the party’s national convention held in Ibadan on November 15 and 16, 2025, which produced a leadership backed by Seyi Makinde.
In its majority judgment, the court ruled that the convention violated existing court orders that required the party to meet certain conditions before proceeding.
It also faulted the PDP for going ahead with the exercise despite those directives.

“The Supreme Court referred the ADC back to the Federal High Court. The ADC is still a problem,” he added.
While commenting on the broader political landscape, the FCT minister drew a distinction between political parties and individuals, expressing strong views about some actors.
“Not that I don’t like the party, I hate the individuals involved. I don’t like them. They are part of the people who have plunged Nigeria into problems,” Wike stated.
