PDP crisis: Come shut down our office if you can – Turaki-led faction dares Wike

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ibrahim Abdullahi, has dared the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to attempt to take over the office of the Turaki-led faction if he can.

Abdullahi threw this challenge to Wike on Thursday during an interview programme on Channels Television.

He was reacting to Wike’s comments during a media parley in Abuja on Wednesday, where he questioned the legitimacy of the Turaki group’s claim to being the authentic leadership of the PDP.

THE PRIME NEWS reports that Wike had also warned that he would seal off any property used as a secretariat by the faction, stressing that no group could unilaterally establish a party structure and operate it as a national headquarters.

Responding, Abdullahi stated that the Turaki group already operates from a known office and challenged the minister to shut it down if he could.

“We have been operating from an office. He knows the location; he should come there and take over the office if he can.

“It is a temporary office, but we are meeting there and carrying out our functions. Look, we are descending into a state of anarchy where life is brutish, short, and nasty, as Thomas Hobbes would describe it,” he added.
