FCT Minister Nyesom Wike challenges rivals within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to demonstrate their claim to control the party by taking concrete administrative steps. Both reports say Wike urges opponents to open an official PDP bank account and set up a party secretariat in Abuja, arguing that these actions would confirm their legitimacy. The Punch frames Wike’s call more broadly as a challenge to “PDP rivals,” while Vanguard focuses on a specific group aligned with Tanimu Turaki. Vanguard reports that Wike directly dares the Turaki faction to open a secretariat and bank account, saying he would “seal it” if they do so, implying he disputes their authority. The two outlets also agree on the core elements of the challenge: establishment of an official party secretariat and an official bank account, as a test of who controls PDP structures. The reports do not provide details on prior triggers or the responses from the challenged faction(s), nor do they specify any legal or procedural basis for Wike’s proposed action.
