Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has revoked the land approval for the National Headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Abuja.
This development was communicated to the PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagun, in a letter.
The letter said the approval was revoked because of PDP’s failure to pay annual ground rents on the property for 20 years, from January 1, 2006, to January 1, 2025.
Prior to the revocation, the FCT Administration had 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, adding that the FCTA would take immediate possession of the land.
